Bandon Hill is a community primary school in Wallington, London Borough of Sutton. We have roughly 450 children. Bandon Hill has a passionate and dedicated PSA made up of parents and staff who work hard to support the school community. Their focus at the moment is raising money to develop our outdoor learning area. THE MEADOW: We have a hard surface playground and ball court, and a green area known as 'the meadow'. It is this meadow area we are developing in order to make it look more attractive, support local wildlife, provide educational opportunities, and offer a relaxing and therapeutic environment to all of our children. Many of our children live in flats with no direct access to outdoor areas so our meadow really is an important part of our school. SENSORY GARDEN: We want to fill our meadow with scented plants, flowers and herbs and make it a wonderful place for the children to explore nature and learn about flowers, plants and wildlife. We will support local wildlife by attracting birds, bees and other insects. This area will benefit all children and particularly those with special needs, e.g. ADHD, autism or sensory processing difficulties. The sensory meadow can both stimulate or calm the senses and will have a hugely positive effect on wellbeing. FOOD GARDEN: We have recently started growing our own food. We have built a greenhouse and children have been busy planting seeds. We have created raised beds for the next stage and children have been regularly weeding them and getting them ready for the young plants. Our aim is to have sales of our produce and embed the scheme in our school life. Thank you for your support to improve the lives of our children.
