The pupils at Ripley St Thomas are in pretty unique position when it comes to their courses as they have their own farm on site! From the start of their school life at Ripley St Thomas pupils are taught theory alongside practical skills of agriculture and horticulture. Many then go onto take the subject at GCSE level. As the school itself celebrates its 150th birthday this year, our BBC News School Reporters decided the time was right to explore the school’s history and the benefits the farm brings to their studies.
Very good job you guys. This is the best reporters of all school reports ever!
