The school has been fortunate in securing funding from Worcestershire County Council. The Public Health Innovation Grant Funding for Education has been awarded to the school to create a Wellbeing Garden for staff and students to access. The vision of the Wellbeing Garden is to give the school community an outdoor space to use for quiet reflection, promoting positive mental health and explore the opportunity to develop mindfulness as a way to cope with day to day life. The garden will also be made available for an area to work with groups of students during the school day.
Garden equipment, raised beds and flowers have been purchased and today a group of Year 10 students planted up Hanging Baskets to go into the garden initiating the final phase of creating the garden. Students had the opportunity to see a demonstration on how to build a hanging basket and then were able to select their own plants to design their own baskets, which are stunning.
