Our Green School committee has been busy this term with a biodiversity audit of the school grounds. Children have identified 14 native plant species and are planning a new wildflower garden for summer.
The Green School committee — made up of enthusiastic pupils from every class — carried out a full biodiversity audit of our school grounds this term. They identified 14 native plant species already growing on the site, from common dock and dandelion to less common species like wood sorrel and hart’s tongue fern.
Inspired by their findings, the committee has drawn up plans for a new wildflower garden to be planted before the end of the school year. The garden will provide habitat for pollinators and give our younger classes an outdoor space for nature study.
A huge congratulations to our Green School committee and their teacher coordinators for their dedication to our environmental programme.
