Community Garden Project <strong>2019</strong>-2020<br />
What<br />
do you do with a piece of land which needs rejuvenating? The answer<br />
is turn it into a community garden. In March <strong>2019</strong> about 40 people<br />
from the community and the school’s environment group got together to start clearing<br />
the old conservation area. In addition we asked local people to think about what they<br />
would like to see in the garden and over lunch they presented their ideas. We<br />
then shared their ideas with Wendy Stokes, the professional garden designer<br />
who created our Memorial Garden, who came up with the plan you can see<br />
bellow. The garden will be used by schools during the day in term time and open<br />
to the community on Summer evenings, weekends and holidays.<br />
The key features of the garden will be the sunken amphitheatre for performances<br />
and the café which will be staffed by volunteers. A resident theatre group<br />
will be developed with a summer programme of performances and activities.<br />
The garden will be run by a group of volunteers under the stewardship of<br />
Nida Akram, local resident and former student of <strong>Cranford</strong>.<br />

On<br />
Trip to<br />
Foyles<br />
Bookshop<br />
Monday 22nd July <strong>2019</strong>, I was delighted to<br />
take 20 students on a very special trip into<br />
London. To recognise all the lovely contributions,<br />
participation and achievements in the Library,<br />
student volunteers were given a VIP invite to join<br />
me on a shopping spree to Foyles. <strong>Cranford</strong> now<br />
has a longstanding relationship with the bookstore’s<br />
flagship branch on Charing Cross Road and this has<br />
become something of a tradition. It is a joy for me<br />
to give students the opportunity to select resources<br />
for the Library as students have invested so much of<br />
their time helping in the Resource Centre. Students<br />
were all given an allowance and then sent off to<br />
explore the wonderful resources across the 5 floors.<br />
For some students it was their first opportunity to<br />
travel into London and to be given the responsibility<br />
of buying books for school. I was amazed at the<br />
wonderful array of books students chose: classics,<br />
graphic novels, Greek mythology, cooking books<br />
and many more. The Library staff will work very<br />
hard over the coming months to ensure all these<br />
new books are readily available. Once we were<br />
finished, we walked past Leicester Square through<br />
to Trafalgar Square, down to Great Scotland Yard<br />
and then walked across Embankment Bridge. We<br />
arrived on the Southbank and into Jubilee Gardens<br />
were we enjoyed a lovely picnic under the gigantic<br />
London Eye to finish off the day. If you would like<br />
to be selected for wonderful opportunities like this,<br />
make sure you get involved in the Library next year.<br />
