Due to the pandemic, Annabel struggled to find a placement, but when @Read_School offered her free reign to introduce agriculture into their curriculum she jumped at the opportunity.

Happy to have all the pupils back to Read getting stuck into many after school activities, including Gardening Club on Tuesday afternoon. 👨🌾🍅🌱 Plenty of room for new recruits!
Lambing is an important time in our family. It is all about bringing newborns into the world! Sally goes out and checks the sheep before and after school, feeding and caring for them by bedding up. I have even been rounding sheep up as part of my PE lessons!👨🌾🐏
Well Done Sally. Amazing work!! 🙌

Agriculture can & must do more to welcome & encourage young #talent both from within our ranks & from wider society.
We’re the biggest job on earth & there should be a place for anyone with the passion to contribute.
