Young farmers' organisation Macra na Feirme has outlined its position in a document on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) "Green Architecture" and set
Teachers Penny Carver and Caroline O Keeffe with pupils.
The outdoor area has been improved by installing artificial grass, a purpose built bike track and messy play area. It has been designed to encourage exploration and discovery, and support the children’s physical development.
Headteacher Cheryl Cappleman said: “It is fantastic to have all the children back in school now. We are really happy with the changes we have made. We have created a welcoming, stimulating and challenging outdoor environment for our children.”

The school maintained contact with all families during the lockdown period, with phone calls, emails and some home visits, and found this to be really helpful with engaging the children in remote learning, and with the transition back into school.
AN ACTIVE and sociable widow died in hospital last year after a fall which caused a bleed on her brain, an inquest has heard. Ivy Elizabeth Davis, 89, was found by her good friend Peter Hallewell after she’d fallen at her home on Townsend Close, Basingstoke, on May 20 2020. Peter Hallewell and his wife were close friends of Mrs Davis for 16 years. In a statement read in Winchester Coroners’ Court on Tuesday (February 16), Mr Hallewell said Mrs Davis’ husband sadly passed a way around 14 years ago. He added that she had moved out of the family home, a large bungalow in Basingstoke, and into a local authority flat and “was able to enjoy her life”.
