Mrs
Adams compiled a substantial file of evidence to
support her application to the RHS Campaign for
School Gardening. We were all delighted that our
school garden had met not only the criteria for
Level 1 but also levels 2 and 3! As a result we
have received the following prizes:
• A seed collection, with nine types of seeds and two wooden paper potters
• Carol Klein's book 'Grow your own veg' and a pack of hand tools worth £30
• The Alan Titchmarsh Award of £150 worth of National Garden gift vouchers on successful completion of Level 3.
Thanks go to Mrs Adams and parent helper, Mrs Sue Bluck, for all their hard work and enthusiasm which has inspired our children to grow their own vegetables, salad crops and herbs.

What is a ‘Healthy School’?
National Healthy School status requires schools to meet criteria in four core themes: personal, social & health education; healthy eating; physical activity; emotional health & well being.
These criteria relate not only to the taught curriculum but also to the emotional, physical and learning environment that the school provides.
Schools have to demonstrate evidence in all the core themes using a 'whole school' approach involving the whole school community.
