What are the children growing? The garden is being used to grow a range of fruit and vegetables, including potatoes, radishes, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries and herbs.
How is the learning platform used? Children can walk easily from their classrooms on to the platform, so teachers are now incorporating the outdoor environment into lessons.
Does anyone else benefit? The garden and platform are also being used outside school hours by the school's gardening club. The club allows children and parents to maintain the garden.
Who funded it? Arsenal Football Club provided £30,000 to transform the playground as part of its commitment to funding community projects.
