The EPICC Garden Project

We aim to develop our school garden to educate our students about where their food comes from, and to promote sustainable ways of producing food. Our students are given the opportunity to gain knowledge, expertise and life skills through hands-on, skills based learning. The work we do with out students in the garden is a vital vehicle which our staff use to build relationships, deliver nurture sessions and re-engage our students who at times can experience barriers to their learning.

North Tyneside In Bloom Young Gardeners 2013

Here is the trophy our Yr 11's picked up last night, we are very proud of the award, the boys are planning how to spend the gardening vouchers they received as a prize.

Work starts on a new flower bed outside our building. We plan to have flowers, bulbs and some herbs.

Our project has had quite a bit of coverage today online and on Look North.
