Latest News and Events

Pupils have been busy on the farm this week cleaning in and around the barns in preparation for the animals to go in at night throughout the winter months. They have also been very busy cleaning out the fish tank and the dragon and snake vivariums. Y8 pupils have also enjoyed bathing the guinea pigs and shampooing and grooming the pony.

We also had toast donations from the canteen for the alpacas and many pumpkin donations following Halloween, which Mabel enjoyed as an extra special treat.

Farm club is very popular amongst our pupils and it is lovely to see so many of them enjoying it week on week. 

Please take the time to read this half term's Headteacher's bulletin, which includes news, events and information from this half term. 

You can find the bulletin attached below. 

Farm club places are fully subscribed and a group of Y8 pupils are in the early stages of creating an allotment behind the science block.

In July the farm took on a new project to build a hay trough for the goats and it is finally finished. It was a collaborative effort by all farm groups and made from 100% recycled materials.

Inclusion pupils have also done a great job refitting the overall hangers, doubling the capacity by staggering the hooks for everybody to reach.

Many pupils and staff have asked how Dotty the goat is doing after discovering that she lost a horn on Tuesday morning. The Y8 farm club pupils rallied into action and were extremely helpful, separating Dotty from the other goats and bringing supplies to help treat her wound. A quick call to the vets told us that she will be fine so long as we look after her - she is lively and has a great appetite as usual!

Thank you for joining us for our Open Evening. It was lovely to see over 200 families in attendance. We hope those who attended were able to see our excellent facilities, speak to our dedicated staff and pupils, and found the evening informative, helpful and entertaining. 

Thank you for your positive feedback regarding Open Evening. It is wonderful to hear that "the event was fun, welcoming, informative" and "all the students were lovely, very friendly, as were the staff."

Don't forget that the deadline for Year 7 applications for September 2025 is 31st October 2024 and applications should be made through Stockport Council.
