Children at Eggbuckland Vale Primary School are getting ready to enjoy their new woodland spaces and Forest School, with the able assistance of volunteers from Babcock.
Over the summer more than 40 apprentices from Babcock cleared a very overgrown area at the school, revealing a pond and creating a natural amphitheatre which will be perfect for group lessons and activities.
Headteacher Susie Carroll said:
“It’s exciting to see this new area coming to life. This is my first term at the school, having just taken up the role as headteacher. We have so many ideas for the school over the next year.
“Wendy Cording was a wonderful head and I plan to build on all the things she achieved so that Eggbuckland Vale Primary School continues to thrive.”
The new woodland area will be ready by October half term. This year will also see the implementation of the new Ocean Conservation curriculum, with children in all age groups learning about the ocean and the role it plays in keeping the planet healthy.
Susie said:
“We’ve worked together as an Academy Trust, with all five schools contributing to the new curriculum with the help of our science partners, the Ocean Conservation Trust, the Marine Biological Association and Plymouth Marine Laboratory.”
