Skypoint School

Skypoint Super Global Garden

Our garden this year celebrates our school and young peoples’ awards, we chose this as we are very proud of all our achievements.

Over the last year we have achieved the following awards : Plastic free Schools, Climate Ready Classroom Training, Rights Respecting Silver Award ( applied for), Fairtrade, WWF Climate Hero, RHET Festival of Farming , RHS School Gardening, I Am Me Ambassador and LEAF Award (submitted).

We have planted flowers and vegetables, growing these ourselves in a community planter (we have no outdoor space of our own), we have onions, tomatoes and raspberry plants along with herbs. Our local allotment also donated some plants.

We reused the wheelbarrow we rescued last year (it was dumped at the side of a motorway) as the basis of our garden as our school has no outdoor space that we can utilize.

Our pupils painted their hand prints around the outside of the wheelbarrow, choosing different countries flags to celebrate our Childrens’ Rights UNICEF award.

Within the last year Skypoint has worked hard on all aspects of learning for sustainability and we are delighted to have made such progress.

After the award our wheelbarrow will be on display for visitors at our school to see.
