Our Ecologist in Residence, Dr Helen Miller has been working hard to create a programme of cross curriculum ecology lessons and challenges for students across the school. The starting point has been our own Phenology Challenge – a long-term study of the seasonal changes around our school.

One of the first of these is joining up with the RSPB’s ‘Big Garden Birdwatch’ and soon we will be installing our own weather system which will provide our students with the opportunity to contribute to real-life ecology data collection.
