Exciting news! Co-op Members can now choose to support Wardle Academy as part of the Local Community Fund.

We would like to expand our school garden provision to support more learners experiencing trauma and mental health difficulties across our academy and local community. By selecting Wardle Academy via your Co-op app, we can make this happen!

To select the fund, just open your Co-op app, tap "wallet" and scroll down to select the local cause. There is no cost to members and funding will be used to expand our garden provision.
