“It’s not just about education.
“It’s about the children getting pleasure from being outdoors and finding out about their environment.”
The past year has seen the children grow tomatoes, potatoes and courgettes in the school’s grounds as well as enjoy a new hide to watch the wildlife.
Other winners around Bognor Regis were South Bersted C of E Primary School (gold), St Mary’s C of E School, Climping, (silver gilt) and Rose Green Infant School (silver).
