Artist impression Axis Academy - schools for SEND pupils

Minshull Vernon Parish Council has awarded a £3,500 grant to the Axis Academy to help it develop its sensory garden.

The Axis Academy is a new Special School in the Woolstanwood parish, which is part of the Parish Council’s area.

The work on the garden will be undertaken by the school staff, volunteers and pupils.

It was considered having a wellbeing/sensory garden would benefit the children, the local community and the local habitat, where there was a place for youngsters to relax in a quiet place.

Sensory gardens improve physical fitness, health, mood and cognition.

Gardening and plant care helps children develop motor skills.

Time outdoors, breathing fresh air, and being exposed to sunlight were extremely beneficial to the children’s overall physical health.

Part of the project includes an onsite vegetable allotment, which will hopefully involve the local community.

The Parish Council has also given some litter picking equipment to the school.

Woolstanwood Cllr Phillip Williams said: “This highlights the work and support we as the local Parish Council do within the community.”

Woolstanwood Cllr Brian Silvester said: “The Parish Council has always worked very closely and effectively with our local schools, giving support where we can. This is just the latest example.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
