Alsop High School completes first stage of Sanctuary Garden

Alsop High School is currently on track to open its brand-new Sanctuary Garden this academic year.

Trustees of The Alsop Foundation CIO have confirmed that the first stage is complete, and the Sanctuary Garden is now enclosed by new fencing.

During the construction of stage one, members of the school, local community and beyond have kindly donated money in memory of former staff, students and governors, meaning that the school can continue onto stage two.

For this exciting project, the school has worked with BCA Landscape to create a design of the garden. Images detailing an artistic impression of what the sanctuary will look like have been created, showcasing a seating area, wooden pergola, trees, and other scenic shrubbery.

Members of the school’s sixth form and ‘My Community Matters’ group will take a lead in the planting of shrubs, providing students the opportunity to get their hands dirty, develop gardening skills, and play a part in growing what is set to be a beautiful space.
