Last September, Year 6 children came up with the fantastic idea to plant green walls on our school as part of our RHS-initiated National Education Nature Park programme. 

The DfE have kindly granted our academy with £5,000.00, for us to take action and enhance biodiversity in our inner-city school ground. 

Equipment for 20 square meters of green wall has been provided by Wonderwall, the best local company for living walls with an outstanding international reputation. 

With the support of Mrs Mirazi, children from all year groups have got their hands dirty, planting just under 1000 easy-maintenance, perennial woodland plants on 4 separate green wall panels on the outside of our school building. 

A real success and reason to celebrate cleaner and cooler air, more greenery and biodiversity for the years to come. 

Special thanks go to Natasha Devoe, who has supported this project with so much care and dedication, investing plenty of her time, providing us with her expert knowledge and lending a helping hand in all parts of the project on a voluntary basis.
