DAN Gittens and Jack Scott, both year 11 land and environment students have received bikes as a reward for outstanding and continued effort on their BTEC course.
During the two years of their course they have grown organic vegetables for use in the canteen (over a hundredweight of potatoes alone!), constructed coops for forestry trees, planted willow sculptures and helped construct the new science pond.
Mr Bostock, the land and environment teacher said, “The boys have put in a lot of hard work and it’s a pleasure to give this reward in recognition of their efforts.” Headteacher, Richard North added: “Green issues are extremely important at the moment and we are very proud of the environmentally friendly work which is being carried out by the staff and students.”
As well as running the successful BTEC land-based course, Wolverley CE Secondary School is looking forward to introducing the new diploma in land-based studies in September.
The higher level Diploma is worth seven GCSEs and many of the BTEC students will progress onto this course in the Sixth Form.
