here’s an online guide produced by the school farms network. it’s made up of sections ranging from growing plants in containers to creating a small farm at school. also shows pupils how nature impacts on everyday life and the interdependence of rural and urban environments.

t shirts, mugs, caps, babywear and underwear can now be bought in our own shop!
please buy these products and help support the school!
