“We are hoping to raise enough money to erect a commercial sized Polytunnel as part of a plan to create an organic garden to show students how to grow their own food and other plants,” reads a press release from the school.
“The tunnel will be used as an outdoor/indoor classroom for planting and growing learning about the importance of the organic approach to gardening. It will also be used for Science, Art including gardening craft and design, Business and Home Economics as well as a multitude of other cross-curricular activities. The money raised will also go towards other much needed projects in the school such as upgrading our computers.”
