CROSS CURRICULAR - Citizenship
Tree Planting Initiative
Through some Citizenship work the Academy will have the benefit of £12,000 worth of trees and shrubs being added to our grounds.
The planting took place during the Spring Term of 2004.
Years 7 and 8 were involved with the actual planting, with each tutor group taking ownership of one particular large tree that they will be able to see grow during the remainder of their Academy career.
