Following a meeting with the Quadrant Committee on Thursday 30 October, we have approved a design (visual and narrative) by a company called Tree-ditions. Pupils will also be involved in the creation of the school’s story on the Totem Pole and also in some of the planting up of the garden itself. Once finished, by May at latest, this will become an outdoor classroom, which various subjects across the school will put to good use for learning and teaching. The design has been based around being eco-friendly and sustainability. Exciting times!

Thank you to all who contributed to the group or fed back to us on the designs.
