A schedule of painting works was created. The most recent redecoration works were carried out over the February half term to minimise disruption to pupils and teachers, giving them a welcome surprise to return to after the holidays. The work is part of the School\u2019s wider ambitions to further improve the learning environment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1451\" src=\"https:\/\/aspiredefence.co.uk\/adcw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/Bumblebees-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aspiredefence.co.uk\/adcw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/Bumblebees-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/aspiredefence.co.uk\/adcw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/Bumblebees-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aspiredefence.co.uk\/adcw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/Bumblebees-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aspiredefence.co.uk\/adcw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/Bumblebees-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>the cleaner, brighter classroom<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And ADCW\u2019s support didn\u2019t stop with redecoration.\u00a0 A recent survey of trees at the school had identified some work that needed to be done.\u00a0 Such work can be a real drain on school resources but, again the local business came up trumps.
