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.

25th September RHS Launch

Today was the Launch of our year with the RHS, we harvested a lot of produce from the garden, potatoes, carrots, onions, chard, beans, tomatoes, sweetcorn, beetroot and kale.

We had visit from Look North, who came to see what we have been up to in the garden. Here is one of our Yr 11 students being interviewed.
