Our Food Forest garden has become a place where our students plant, care for and proudly harvest their own vegetables.
They eat what they grow, bringing fresh and nutritious food into their school meals. At the same time, they learn practical skills about farming, nutrition and caring for their environment.
Seeing their excitement and the happy faces when they harvest what they planted themselves makes me happy too.
As headmistress, I am incredibly proud to see our garden growing alongside healthier, happier and more confident children.
