The Archbishop Rowan Williams Church School, Portskewett
Church-in-Wales Primary Schools
We have a Church-in-Wales school in our Benefice. It is called 'The Archbishop Rowan Williams Church-in-Wales School' and is situated in Portskewett. It has it's own website which can be found at: http://www.arwprimary.co.uk/ We are very proud to reproduce an article from the 'Monmouth Diocesan Newsletter', Advent/Christmas issue 2006: ARCHBISHOP ROWAN WILLIAMS CHURCH-in-WALES SCHOOL
"The pupils are not only developing their spiritual and academic skills but also learning about how to develop their environment, to make sure it is the best it can be. Pupils who attend the school have planted every single plant in the school grounds i.e. several thousand shrubs. Their efforts have been rewarded this year by winning the Best Kept Village Competition School Award, (in the category for 150 pupils and over). In the Gardening Club held during lunch times, pupils work together to plant, weed and design new features for the school grounds. In 2006 a new historical garden has been developed, with assistance from Staff from ASDA. Vegetables grown are donated to worthy causes. All 200 children at the school take home vegetable plants that they grow on and share with their families".
