English

A group of the younger students came to learn about Saxon language, riddles, runes and storytelling, then they wrote their own dramatic stories - returning to read them as warriors around the hearth.

Horticulture

The Horticulture group have adopted a piece of land which they have cleared and dug. Winter beans, shallots and garlic are in the ground and planning is underway for Spring planting. Produce will go back to the school kitchens.

Science

​Students have begun studying weather, the distribution of species using quadrats, soil testing, native species and other topics.
