Congratulations to everyone at our Arc School Ansley who have recently been awarded a Bees4School Grant by the British Bee Charity.

The British Bee Charity were impressed with the children at the school during the assessment and they had also looked at the school website and were similarly impressed with what is on offer for the children. Ansley have been chosen as one of 20 schools out of over 300 applications in the UK to receive the grant.

They are also going to visit the school and the apiary to see the hives they have out there already.

Gail (the school Assistant Headteacher, SENCO and qualified Beekeeper) has put a lot of hard work into the application and getting everything set up so she deserves a special mention. Great work Gail!

The collection of beehives at the school have been decorated by the children, who have all been thoroughly enjoying getting involved in the project.

The school plan to bottle up the honey once they can harvest some later in the year. We look forward to sharing more about this soon.
