We are excited to announce a new recreational area and all the possibilities that come along with it. Whether it will be a chance for students and teachers to create new clubs or what it will add to the activities available at Wingate School. There will be options for our students to participate with their peers in a game of table tennis, giant chess, volleyball and badminton. They will also be given the chance to take a step back and withdraw to a quiet corner to either study or read a book.

Wingate also has a basketball court, an indoor theatre, and extensive use of the local astroturf football pitch.

Vegetable Gardens and Butterfly Conservatory

We have just created an ecological garden area to teach children where food comes from and how vegetables grow. The children learn this vital knowledge as part of their lessons, during Lunchtime clubs and even after school activities. The food grown is either taken away by the children, or used in our canteen as a healthy addition to our catering service.

We are currently constructing a Butterfly Conservatory to house and protect our marvellous Monarch Butterflies that our children watch grow from eggs, to caterpillars, to cocoons to full grown butterflies. When we are luck we can even watch the transition from caterpillar to chrysalis and then watch the butterfly emerge and stretch and dry its wings 2 weeks later.
