Allotment The school allotment is in its second year and this year the new raised beds have made it a lot easier to get around and work around the vegetables. At the moment we are growing potatoes, leeks, onions and we are about to harvest the Strawberries and lettuce. The children have been busy weeding and watering. Children from Green Class have been teaching the younger children how to look after the plants.

There have been 2 separate Assessment days at the school during April : The assessors for the Sustainable School category saw the Glade, the allotment, met the School Council and talked to lots of other people. Mr White's assessors in the Teacher of the Year category spent a lot of time with him, watched a literacy/art session involving "Barry's shed" (ask the year 6 for an explanation!), interviewed Anna Berkley(who nominated him), Jacob McKenzie and loads of current pupils from different year groups. Staff, parents, a Rolle college tutor, a former Devon Schools Art Advisor and members of the community were all involved in interviews and discussions. All of the assessors were impressed by many things that they saw, and took away things like the successful ‘Reflections' publication as a model for their own schools to follow. We are now keeping our fingers crossed for 25th June!
