Decision details

Renovating the pond area at Cheriton Primary School to allow the school to enjoy and explore the wildlife within the pond.

The aims of the Pond Restoration Project is with the assistance of each year group to clear, plant and document wildlife within the pond. Provide an outside observation area for working with pondlife. Provide support during the project to the staff so that they could manage the pondbeyond the life of the project.

Cheriton is blessed with the most amazing forest area that is used once a week to take children away from the classroom to deliver outdoor learning, a key part of child development. One area neglected is the pond, with Spring fast approaching we would like to develop the area ready for habitats to thrive in.

To provide funding of £450 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

The school has an outdoor area for the students to explore and learn from however it is our aim to renovate the neglected pond area so that the students can broaden their explorations and learning outside of the classroom.
