Forest School and Horticulture

We are hugely fortunate at Heathermount to have amazing grounds and it is wonderful to see students making the most of them in Forest School and Horticulture.

Forest School

This term in Forest School, students have had the opportunity to explore the area and choose activities that interest them. Many have shown great creativity and initiative, particularly when designing and building their own shelters and creating water runs.

Horticulture

In Horticulture, the main focus has been preparing the school grounds for winter. Students have been busy refreshing hanging baskets and pots with winter plants, as well as tidying and clearing the allotment ready for the new growing season next year.
