Year 7 Tree Planting

The whole of Year 7 have recently been involved in planting Rowan trees on the school grounds, which in years to come will provide an effective wind-break. By the time Year 7 reach Year 9 they will be able to make jam from the berries of these trees, also as part of their Agricultural Science lessons. dave Chandler of Three Valleys water, who Mr. Short describes as: "A genuine country man who used to work on the big country estates" helped lead the tree planting sessions, over two days. He was assisted by Annabel Mora.

Cycling

A number of people have asked me, and a few more people signed up at the Year 6 into 7 evening, so we shall run a cycling proficiency course here in the autumn term. Students should lock their bikes in the shed for security.
