Children and staff are incredibly proud of our garden and allotment area—it’s a much-loved part of school life. We set out to create a multi-sensory outdoor space where children can connect with nature, develop an understanding of how plants grow, and learn how small actions can make a positive difference to our planet. Wherever possible, the area has been developed using recycled materials, helping to reinforce our commitment to sustainability.

We are delighted that our work has been recognised with multiple Gold and Curriculum awards, reflecting the enthusiasm and dedication of everyone involved.

Take a look at our journey as we brought this space to life…

Creating our Gardens…

As part of our 'Pledge for our Planet' topic, children had been learning about plants, including: parts of plants, what they need to grow and how they are vital for the environment. The children have been making good use of this knowledge when creating their fairy gardens!

We put our knowledge and designs together and created our own 'fairy village' from recycled materials...

We are so excited to have developed Harrison's Yard into a beautiful area to explore, create, learn about and support plants and wildlife...
