Hide AdDIY skills also came to the fore when the perimeter fences were repaired, and the gardeners in the group tackled hedges, borders and the school’s wildlife pond.
The school said it was very grateful to Dulux Trade Centre in Haywards Heath, which donated a large quantity of outdoor paint for the fences.
