A team from the Friends worked throughout the summer to create a new wildlife area and forest school to conserve and enhance nature and landscape assets in the school grounds. The special area is where pupils can learn more about the importance of the environment.
The school received more than £7,000 in funding from conservation organisation Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in support of the project. Additionally, energy firm EDF Energy sent a team from the Sizewell B power station to help with creating the wildlife areas.
We are trying to help tackle the climate emergency by supporting nature recovery through conservation and enhancement of wildlife habitat, whilst identifying the benefits of sustainable practices and carbon reduction. We’re extremely grateful for the support from the Coast and Heaths AONB, the grant money has allowed us to create this amazing setting on a much greater scale than our original plan of using PTA funds alone.
The wildlife area is not just for the school but also to invite other schools, as well as the local community and the village to make use of the facility. We are so proud of the project and the work that has been done and we wanted to promote it.
