photographs The ideas and possibilities outlined below are designed to help members of the local community as they think about what could happen on this site. Nothing is fixed and alternative solutions may well emerge over the coming decade - it is for the local community to decide and enable it to happen. 1. Visual
Attributes - update 2004 These
large playing fields to the east of the school
buildings have been enclosed recently by a high
palisade fence, making the site totally secure,
with the only access via the school grounds. A
narrow unmown margin surrounds the amenity grass,
providing opportunities for wildlife. There is a
large hard surfaced area used for athletics on the
upper, south side of the site. Housing surrounds
the site. 2. 3. 4. Safety This
site is now totally secure with fencing and is a
very safe place for school pupils. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
site's main use is obviously for school sports
activities and large outdoor events, such as school
galas and sports days. Activities
that could be supported in the
future The
unmown edges could be widened, providing more space
for wildlife on site. 5. Ecology
