raising by purchasing uniform labelling items from Stamptastic using this link https://stamptastic.co.uk/pages/School-

There might not have been any children at school but
our garden has continued to grow! Thank you to parents
and staff that have tended and watered the beds and
thanks to our premises team, Jim and Andy who took
care of Queen Polly and her bees producing our first
batch of honey.
I’m sure you will remember from last term that we won
the Richmond in Bloom competition and it’s also nice to
see us featured in the latest edition of Weed All About It
from Edible Playgrounds https://
