Grendon Garden

We are very proud of our school garden which Mrs Beedon and Mrs Fox look after. The garden is used to teach children about plants and wildlife and allows them to develop an understanding of living healthy lifestyles as well as raising children's self-esteem and developing social skills and a sense of responsibility and achievement.

Children in Year Four spend time working in small groups in the Grendon Garden with the purpose of enhancing their understanding of the natural world. Gardening links to the Year 4 science curriculum and encourages Grendon's aims of Communication, Resilience and Independence.

We are lucky to have a dedicated area accredited to level 5 of the RHS Campaign for School Gardens. Children access a wildlife pond surrounded by trees and hedges. A range of herbs, flowers and vegetables are grown which supports children's understanding of seasonality and food production.

The wider school are often invited to participate in growing competitions and projects, and they make regular use of the wildlife habitats in the school garden. 

Throughout the year, there is always something to be done in the garden...

Latest Update (Summer 2024)

Over the summer, we were lucky enough to have our gardens transformed by volunteers from Jaguar Landrover.

A massive thank you to Shaun (a Grendon Parent), Helen and the team for all your hard work. You can see below some of the before and after pictures. The children are really looking forward to exploring the area soon!
