Insurance staff dig in to transform school's plot
VOLUNTEERS dug in with gusto to create a productive plot for Pittville School.

They spent £300 on topsoil and donated manure.
Teacher Linda Serrabee was delighted with the hard work.
"Students and staff will be able to use the produce in technology, such as catering, at both key stages.
"We can distribute produce to local care homes in donation boxes and might sell it to fundraise at our summer fair.
"The area can also be used as a hands-on teaching space in subject areas such as design technology and science.
"And it will enable access for students from disadvantaged areas who wouldn't normally enjoy such an environment."
