Pye Homes helps Fareham pupils dig into learning with new school allotment

The Northern Infant and Junior School in Fareham, Hampshire, has improved its outdoor space by installing an allotment area with support from Pye Homes.

Earlier this year, we donated £1,000 to the local Hampshire school to fund improvements towards the Junior School sites. That contribution has now helped bring to life a newly-designed allotment area with 16 planters and new recycling bins, creating a clean and sustainable space for eight of the school’s classes to learn and grow.

Karis McMahon-Lane, Property Marketing Manager, says: “It’s wonderful to see the project come to fruition and we’re excited for little green thumbs to start planting and learning. At Pye Homes we’re passionate about supporting our local communities, and we’re especially proud to have contributed to an initiative that not only enhances the schools’ outdoor learning environment, but also reflects our shared commitment to sustainability.”

The Northern Federation, adds: “We are delighted that our allotment and outdoor space is now complete and is already being enjoyed by our pupils at the start of the school year. The support from Pye Homes has enabled us to create this engaging outdoor environment that will inspire learning with young pupils for years to come.”
