DR DAVID BOYCE, D OF E CO-ORDINATOR

Gardening Club started this week, with pupils rejuvenating the allotments.

They will be spending the spring and summer turning the raised beds into a giant pumpkin patch – ready for autumn. They will also be growing flowers for the boarding houses and growing sunflowers to fill the school bird feeders.

Our green-fingered gardeners, all in Year 9, will be counting the time in the allotments as a part of the DofE award volunteering section.
