Latest News and Events

This week farm club and intervention pupils had a hand in repurposing an old hat stand and made a great folding mesh lid for the guinea pig outdoor run, Year 7 morning club pupils gave our three guinea pigs a bath, intervention pupils made a great small table for the feed room and after school club pupils did a great a job deep cleaning the goat’s area.

Morning clubs run five days a week and afternoon clubs run Mon to Wed and are very popular with many more pupils showing an interest.

As well as the daily farm tasks, pupils have been busy weeding and cleaning the paths around the farm, fitting new hey racks and re-painting doors, fences and the goats play furniture.

After school club pupils also had the ingenuous idea of repurposing an old brush head and designed and constructed a boot cleaner by building a frame, securing and painting it.

All of the work you see in the photos below has been done by our pupils - what a great achievement!

On 8th May 2024, 40 Year 10 pupils attended the Destination Higher Education event at Manchester Metropolitan University, where they created their own societies and then presented them to a group of University students. 

The pupils' behaviour and attitude was exceptional, and we are so proud of each and every one of them.
