There is a Green Team for both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. The groups are made up of one child from each class for half a term. They spend 40 minutes during the school day or at lunchtime once a week, on a Monday.

The Green Team was founded by Ellie Bolton and Diane Jeffs and continues to be run by volunteer parents currently co-ordinated by Emma Houghton and Melissa Newton.

The Green Team gives each child at the school the opportunity to learn about gardening in a fun and enjoyable way, how we can produce our own fruit and vegetables and help the environment. We have an outdoor vegetable garden and a large polytunnel within the school grounds.

During their time on the Green Team the children might expect to do a variety of seasonal activities such as:

• Sowing seeds
• Taking cuttings
• Transplanting
• Harvesting
• Cooking and tasting
• Composting
• Weeding
• Improving the school grounds
• Art in the landscape
• Wildlife conservation 

We also aim to include any topical curriculum work within the Green Team such as Greek Day , Invaders day and Healthy Eating.

Please do take a look at our garden. We welcome volunteers to help with the Green Team and also at our regular working parties which are designed to maintain and improve the school grounds.
