Can you support us?
We want our garden to be an area that inspires our students - it will be used for science, enrichment and STEM, the space will also be used for staff wellbeing and parent hub events.
But it’s hard (and expensive) work – and there’s a lot to do, so… we’re reaching out to our staff, parents, and the wider community for some help to achieve this. 🙏

Are you a keen gardener, or maybe a professional tradesperson that’s willing to give us a hand?
