We can announce exciting new plans to develop a pond and wildlife area in the school grounds. The new pond area will create diverse habitats that will support an array of wildlife. It will also provide a range of learning opportunities for pupils, giving them first-hand experience of nature and ecosystems, which will support many areas of the curriculum.

The space will include a pond dipping platform, wildflower area and seating for quiet reflection amongst nature, with the obvious benefits to health and mental wellbeing that being outside brings.

The estimated cost of this project is £10,000, so the school are planning a range of fundraising activities to enable them to go ahead with this wonderful project including a Crowd Funding page.

The school have already had some generous donations from their local community including a recent one of £500 from Davidson’s Homes and would like to thank them for their kind support in getting this project off the ground.

A few years ago, as part of the redevelopment of our Reception and Year 1 outdoor area, we sadly had to lose our school pond, so we are really excited to be developing a brand new pond and wildlife area in the school grounds. We have had some amazing plans drawn up by the Wildlife Trust and are really excited to get started on this project.

Staff and pupils at Lubenham are very proud of our outdoor space and we hope that this new area will enhance the already beautiful grounds we have and create an environment that will be enjoyed by wildlife and pupils for many years to come.

If you would like to support our project in any way or find out more information about our Crowd funding page please contact the School Office on 01858 462319
