Walton Hall Students clean up park

Teenagers from a school in Stafford Borough have been helping the local council improve the area.

Nine students from Walton Hall Academy in Eccleshall cleaned up rubbish, planted and designed flower beds at the award-winning Victoria Park, and fed the snake and chameleon in the park’s greenhouse. They even found a lost identity badge which they handed in to the nearby college and made posters telling people not to drop litter - and helped write this article about their experience.

Walton Hall Academy is a special secondary school for students aged from 11 to 19 years which caters for a wide and varied range of learning needs.
