Official Opening of our Rooftop Allotment

We are delighted to announce the official opening of our school allotment, a proud milestone for our community. The event was attended by the Mayor of Crewe - Sally Graham, local councillors, governors, external contributors -Wickes, National Farmers Union (NFU), LEAF, Cheshire Wildlife businesses, staff, students, their parents, grandparents and adult supporters. It was a joyful celebration of collaboration, growth and community spirit.

The Mayor spoke warmly about how our school has inspired her and encouraged everyone to visit the allotment to admire the truly outstanding work being carried out. Following the opening ceremony, students, parents, grandparent, the Mayor and councillors rolled up their sleeves and together made pizzas and a beetroot salad using only ingredients grown in our very own allotment.
A special thank-you goes to Food technician Mrs Coombs, teaching assistant Ms Tanner, and site team Mr Harrison and Mr Bond for their work to get the allotment thriving, and of course to Mrs Randle, whose leadership and coordination have made this project flourish.

The celebration continued when Connor Naismith MP visited the allotment soon afterwards. Although he was unable to attend the opening, he fulfilled his promise to come and was very impressed with what our students have achieved. He even departed with a slice of freshly baked courgette cake—made from courgettes grown right here in our allotment.
We look forward to seeing more staff and students get involved as we take the next steps in this vibrant and valuable venture.
