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 This
school is situated on the corner of Pot House Lane
and Alpine Road and is encircled by a low stone
wall. There is a wide band of well-maintained mown
grass to the south of the school buildings, which
is bounded by a fence and backs onto gardens of the
adjacent houses. Pot House Wood lies to the western
side of the site. Areas of amenity grass surround
the other sides of the school, with trees such as
cherry, hawthorn, silver birch and rowan dotted
throughout. A hard surfaced playground is located
next to the main entrance off Pothouse Lane to the
east of the school. 2. Safety This
site is overlooked by housing and is next to
well-used roads, making it feel safe, although the
dense woodland to the west may seem slightly
foreboding at night. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
site’s main use is obviously for school
sports activities and 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. An area could be set aside as a wildlife or vegetable garden for educational use. Some imaginative play features could also be incorporated on site. Ecology
