We are very excited to have been given a night vision camera. Thank you to Caddick Construction for your generous donation. We love looking at the wildlife, in particular the hedgehogs !

Another prickly pal who can enjoy our fantastic hog-friendly grounds.

We welcomed Fearne to our wonderful grounds where she can roam freely, enjoy our hedgehog sanctuary and pass through into the Heslington East at the uni. She’s a whopping 1038g and was nursed back to health by Fiona at Urchins Hedgehog Care, York.

A week after being ‘born’, art club’s hedgehogs are leaving their sanctuary and making their way into the world.

What talented young science communicators we have in Y6! In case you missed it, you can catch up with their fantastic feature via this Tweet from the BBC.

Wow! Did you catch Year 6 and their feature about their Hedgehog Award project on Look North?

Y1 explored the texture of clay and natural materials which they combined to make hedgehog sculptures. They discovered that clay warmed by their hands was easier to shape.

Y6 released Isabella into her hibernaculum in our hedgehog sanctuary. Fiona at Urchins Hedgehog Care, York, and Lisa treated her ailments & looked after this 141g abandoned hog until she reached a healthy release weight.

We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the gold hedgehog-friendly schools award. With a challenging 60 points needed for gold, we managed a whopping 93 points!

We love doing our bit to help hedgehogs. Congratulations too go to our neighbours, the University of York, who also achieved gold.
