  We are pleased to have taken delivery of the fabulous New Subpod Compost Bin and Worm Farm and raised bed donated by the SubPod company following our campaign to win one last year.

   

  Our new Eco-Club is setting up a composing project across the school .  Mr Puddick has put the Compost and Worm Farm together for us and it is in the process of being installed. 

   

  The children will be learning how the worm farm works and we will be teaching them the benefits of composting food waste in this way.
