Rosemead Preparatory School, Dulwich, south London, is delighted to announce a new initiative with a leading software company to develop a new wall garden for pupils and staff to enjoy.

The school will be working with SovTech, who are sponsoring the project, in bringing the wall garden to life in the school’s playground.

The project, led by the Eco Club, will build upon the school’s commitment to sustainability and outdoor learning. Pupils in the club have eagerly embraced the new opportunity and will play a nurturing role in looking after the new wall, ensuring it supports the club’s sustainability pledges and helps to combat pollution.

Speaking about the new partnership, Head, Graeme McCafferty said: ‘We are incredibly excited to be working closely with SovTech to develop our new wall garden. I’m looking forward to seeing the work of the Eco Club in building and bringing this space to life over the next few years.’

A spokesperson for SovTech added: ‘The wall garden at Rosemead Preparatory School stands as a testament to the collective efforts of SovTech, the Rosemead Preparatory School and the children, demonstrating the potential for positive change when organisations and individuals work together towards a common goal. It serves as a symbol of hope, reminding us all of the impacts we can make in curbing pollution and creating a sustainable future.’

The news comes at an exciting time for Rosemead Preparatory School. Earlier this year, the school announced it would be merging with the award-winning St Dunstan’s College. Speaking at the time, St Dunstan’s Head, Nick Hewlett, explained: ‘We are delighted to be bringing our schools together, which will strengthen and enrich both our communities. The two schools have a long and deep commitment to a values-driven education, preparing our young students for the world of tomorrow.

‘The merger will be a wonderful opportunity for our two schools, one set in the heart of Catford, and the second in the heart of Dulwich, to work closer together, learning from one another and enhancing our students’ educational journeys.’
