Exciting Progress for the Churchill Student Farm Project

The Churchill Farm project is well underway, with students already involved in a range of hands-on and exciting developments.

So far, they have taken soil samples, measured out the area for growing indigenous wheat crops and ploughed the furrows using a 1956 tractor. Seeds have been carefully sown both by hand and with a traditional planter, and creative scarecrows have been made to help protect the growing crops.

Looking ahead, students will help shape the next stages of the project with their own ideas. Plans already being discussed include building a brick pizza oven and eventually milling their homegrown wheat to make pizza bases.

To support the project, donations of wellington boots (size 4 upwards) and gardening gloves for our students would be greatly appreciated and can be handed into reception.
