Pupils showed off the wild flowers and bird boxes around the garden, close to the old railway line which also is home to a replica steam engine.

Diana Wallis, voted the greenest MEP in the region by Friends of the Earth and a keen environmentalist, also visited the school's heritage centre and took the chance to chat to the children.

She said:

"I was very impressed with the enthusiasm and the knowledge that the youngsters have on the environment."

The garden was created with support from parent Jill Clarke, teacher Val Gowland-Jones and the Bilton Conservation Group.
