Hampton Vale Primary Academy proudly celebrates the official opening of Storybrooke Garden

Last Wednesday, we were incredibly proud to celebrate the official opening of our wonderful new Reception outdoor provision, Storybrooke Garden.

It was a very special occasion for our school, and we were delighted to welcome members of the Four Cs Academy Trust, our Governors and representatives from the Local Authority to share this exciting moment with us. We would like to thank everyone who joined us and helped us celebrate this important milestone.

Storybrooke Garden has been carefully designed with our Reception children at the heart of everything. It provides a rich and inspiring outdoor learning environment where our children can explore, investigate, create, communicate and develop their independence through their everyday learning.

We are incredibly proud of the opportunities the garden provides. From imaginative play and problem-solving to physical challenges, exploration and discovery, the space encourages our children to develop their curiosity, confidence, resilience and creativity.

At the heart of Storybrooke Garden is our love of stories and the magic of reading. The space has been created to spark children's imaginations and encourage them to step into new worlds, create their own adventures and develop a lifelong love of books and learning.

For us, Storybrooke Garden is much more than an outdoor learning space. It is a place where children can wonder, explore, take risks, solve problems, build friendships and make memories that they will treasure throughout their time at Hampton Vale.

We are so proud to see this vision become a reality and to know that our Reception children will enjoy and benefit from this very special space every day.

We would once again like to thank everyone who joined us for the official opening and everyone who has played a part in bringing Storybrooke Garden to life. We cannot wait to see the wonderful learning, adventures and memories that will continue to take place here.
