Pupils’ garden comes up roses

CARR Green Primary School in Brighouse is celebrating after being named the Yorkshire Conservation School of the Year at the Great Yorkshire Show.

The Yorkshire Agricultural Society and Yorkshire Water chose the school because of its commitment to creating a sustainable garden. The judges were also impressed by how the school had made outdoor learning part of the curriculum for its pupils.

The deputy headteacher at Carr Green, Paul Mashinter, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be receiving this award. It recognises the huge step we have made in outdoor learning in a very short space of time.”
