School Life
The Garden
We have an organic school garden at the rear of the school. The garden was set up by students, parents, staff, the school completion programme and the home school liaison. Each child grew organic vegetables last year and we won first prize for the best school garden in the Tidy Towns competition. We are always looking for volunteers to help out with the maintanence of the garden so if you have green fingers please let us know!
Green School
We are a Green School which means we take great care of the environment. Our motto is 'REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE' and we are now on our 4th flag.
