At Brackenwood Junior School, we are proud to have a vibrant and inclusive School Community Garden – a dedicated space where children can grow, create, and connect. Every class visits the garden on a fortnightly basis, taking part in a rich variety of activities designed to support their personal development and help them thrive beyond the classroom.

Through hands-on experiences, pupils develop important life skills while living out our core school values of Collaboration, Inspiration, Expression, and Citizenship. Whether it’s planting flowers, decorating stones, or working together in team-building games, every session offers opportunities to build confidence, creativity, and a sense of community.

Children also learn practical skills such as sewing, tying a tie, and even basic sign language, giving them tools to express themselves and support others. Our Community Garden is more than just a green space—it's a place where children grow not only plants, but also their character, empathy, and friendships.
