I started the day at Farsley Farfield Primary School...

I had been invited by Loraine Lambert, the Learning Mentor at the school, to see their farm which has won loads of awards including a Civic Pride Award. They have two gardeners who have taken career changes and now work part time at the school to release a little bit of green magic with the children... and it is simply brilliant; every school should have one!

I started the visit with Peter Harris, the headteacher, who is a passionate advocate for ICT, the garden and the school. Peter talked to me about the work the team have been doing with the building, the grounds and his plans for the future. We visited the garden and had a brief tour around the school.

Farsley Farfield Primary School is a wonderful primary school with fantastic grounds. A school leading the way in so many areas... the use of ICT, sport and PE and the garden to name but three. If you want to find out more you can visit their great web-site and see why Peter is so proud of his school. The address is https://sites.leedslearning.net/schools/farsleyfarfield.
