Funding Successes!

We've had two Eco-related funding successes this week. We heard we got £176 from the Central Scotland Green Network Orchard Grant Scheme to buy 8 new fruit trees for our fledgling orchard.  We hope to plant these in early spring in partnership with Woodlands School next door.   

We also heard this week that we were awarded £500 from the Outdoor Learning Fund. This money will be used to make the decking around the pond in the Quadrangle safe (it needs cleaned, treated and covered in chicken wire), make a new gate and buy a set of new pond dipping equipment. All S1 and S2s will then be able to explore the life within our school ponds as part of our new Science curriculum.  Two lots of good news in one week!
