Gulval School has recently built a new space for their ducks thanks to a donation of materials from our Penzance branch.
The space includes a walkway that leads up to a bath where the ducks can enjoy a dip. RGB donated all the materials needed, which included artificial grass, concrete blocks, timber and aggregates.
In addition to the ducks, Gulval School also has goats, rabbits, chickens and a school dog. Having animals to care for ties in with the school curriculum of supporting the emotional and social needs of pupils, as pets can encourage learning, especially in reading, communication, observation and speaking.
Paul Baker, Headteacher at Gulval School, commented:
“Our school was named as the first Thrive School of Excellence in England for the strong focus we put on well-being and adventure learning and creating an environment in which our pupils’ mental health and happiness can flourish. Our farm plays a major role in this.
