☀️ Sunshine, cake and good company!
Students and staff joined local families and residents for a beautiful afternoon at the Grimston Gardens Community Garden Party 🌿
We helped set up, shared homemade bakes from our kitchen team, and got competitive in a cookie competition!
The day also celebrated some lovely new additions to Grimston Gardens itself. Thanks to funds raised at last year`s event, the gardens now feature new tree labels, a poetry noticeboard, and 5 new benches on the way!
Our students come from all over the world, and events like this give them something really special: a genuine connection to the local community and a real feel for English life and culture — from the people right on their doorstep.
That sense of belonging is something we work hard to nurture at Earlscliffe.
