A @SoilAssociation programme commissioned by Public Health working with the community, education settings & caterers to make Walsall healthier through food.
Mrs Green, Mrs Chandler and Mr Drew were delighted to meet with the Mayor of Walsall, Louise Harrison, on Monday 6th October to celebrate Colleenโs Jamie Oliver Lifetime Achievement Award and to discuss promoting cooking and healthy eating across Beacon Academy!
Happy last day of term! Most #Walsall children are finishing for the summer today. We'd just like to wish you all a wonderful summer!
Thanks for all your hard work growing, cooking & thinking more sustainably this year. We can't wait to work with you in 2025/26! ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฅ๐ฝ๏ธ
Making seed tape with spring onion seeds ๐ง . The paper towel helps the person planting to see where their seeds are... and how many they use! Sealed with some flour and water = simple but effective! The seed tape can then be planted straight into the soil ๐
