Gordano School is delighted to announce that it has been awarded a Local School Nature Grant, recognising its ongoing commitment to outdoor learning, inclusion, and student wellbeing.

The grant will support the development of the school’s Nurture Garden, with new hammocks and tarpaulin creating calm, sensory-friendly ‘nest’ spaces for SEND students. The project will also include seeds to encourage planting and growth, alongside a climate curriculum kit designed to strengthen environmental education across the school.

Mandi Davies, Inclusive Learning and Pupil Premium Co-ordinator at Gordano School, said:
“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this grant. The Nurture Garden is such an important space for our students, and these new resources will help us develop it further into a calm, creative and inclusive environment where young people can connect with nature and thrive.”

The school will also benefit from training and support through Learning through Landscapes, helping staff to maximise the use of outdoor spaces for learning and wellbeing.

Gordano School looks forward to sharing images of the garden updates with the wider community as the project develops.
