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.

Two new cockerels join our flock

We have two new cockerels, Ritchie, a Legbar Cross and Marius, a Welsummer, lets hope they all settle in quickly. We now have 16 chickens in our flock.

Our sweetcorn is growing really well, some cobs have formed on each plant.

Our beetroot is also growing really well.

Some more of our beautiful wildflowers.

Our pumpkin is slowly getting bigger.

Courgettes, which we hope we will be using to make pickles and chutneys in the Autumn term, Chili Peppers which are just starting to ripen and turn from green to yellow. And finally our outdoor tomatoes which are looking good.
