Yesterday (26 November) , pupils from St Gregory’s Catholic Science College in north west London worked alongside younger pupils from Uxendon Manor Primary School to plant 1200 daffodil bulbs in Woodcock Park, Kenton.

Following the successful project, spearheaded by St Gregory’s A Level students, to design and paint a vibrant mural on a neglected wall in the park, St Gregory’s lower school pupils jumped at the opportunity to brighten up the area of the park surrounding the mural, by planting spring bulbs.

Darren Kelly, Communication Education Outreach Officer for Veolia, and Malcolm Edmunds who manages Brent’s parks, coordinated the project in association with The Friends of Woodcock Park and Kenton Councillor Reg Colwill. Speaking about the project, Mr Kelly said, “It was great to work with the young pupils on this project. They did an amazing job.”

St Gregory’s Headteacher, Andrew Prindiville commented, “St Gregory’s pupils were delighted to be offered the opportunity to help the local community in this way. I am very proud of their enthusiasm and hard work.”

St Gregory’s pupils involved in this project were: Tayden Mouro 7M, Jakub Wnek 7M, Loinnear O’Neill 7L, Alannah Harding 7A, Rokith Christostom 8L, Niroshan Antonnixon 8L
