Summer 2024
Hope Garden
As you hopefully will have noticed, The Hope Garden (at the front of the school) has gone from strength to strength over the past three years, since our initial renovation and planting project that was completed in Spring 2021. . We feel that the garden is a now much more usable area, with seating for staff and pupils during the day, or for parents when collecting children. It also gives visitors to the school a really positive first impression of Chesterton and reflects our love of nature and the outdoors....
As before, to contribute to the feeling that the garden belongs to the whole school community, we are asking for pupils and their families to donate a plant that will then form part of the revamped borders.

No Mow May
We are inviting you all to take part in No Mow May! This campaign aims to give wildlife a much needed boost during the summer. You can choose not to mow all of, or some of any green space that you have available. The idea is that this enables smaller plants and wildflowers, such as daisies, dandelions and clover to flower and provide much needed food for pollinators such as butterflies and bees. Furthermore, it helps to reduce urban heat and lock away atmospheric carbon below ground.
