I’ve just returned to West Hill from a weeks annual leave & can’t believe how much everything has grown! Weeds & grass aside the flowers are beautiful & are covered in insects

Another shout out for our @KingsSchoolOSM #6thFormers. This time those at @InfocusWestHill Outdoor Learning Centre, who designed and built sheds for the forest school & plant benches for the poly tunnels. Super feedback from Patrick & the results speak for themselves.
