Gardening Club trip to meet the Prince

On Monday 19 March the Gardening Club met a Very Important Person. The Prince of Wales is a patron of Age UK and his visit to its offices in town gave him the chance to meet staff, volunteers, beneficiaries and other members of the community including our very own Gardening Club.

Mia Maddison spoke to the prince about how the school’s gardening club had won an Age UK scarecrow competition, but also why her jumper was purple, rather than red like the other pupils present, explaining it was because she had a special role at the school which saw her act as a mentor to younger children.
