EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS What’s in the shed


gone down the apprentice route, Oliver Baldi-Turner, Luke Harper, Jordan Murphy and Luke Wiggett were all off ered full-time positions at the end of their qualifi cation. All our apprentices are fully supported throughout their training and the school encourage on-going courses for their respective departments. They even have a dedicated room where they can complete coursework during quieter times or when required.


Other team members include: Deputy Head Groundsperson - Simon McAulay (ten years’ service), Deputy Head Groundsperson - James Towner (nine years), Senior Gardeners; Ashley Cook (ten years), Scott Devereux (eleven years) and Jeremy Hall (nine years), Gardeners; Nigel Bishop (two years), Luke Harper (six years), Jordan Murphy (four years), Steven Taylor (who has been at the school for an incredible fi fty years), Groundsmen; Oliver Baldi-Turner (six years), Matthew Sale (fi ve years), Matthew Stoneystreet (eleven years) and Luke Wiggett Groundsman (three years). Every team member has completed their spraying and some chainsaw certifi cates and are trained to do their own risk assessments. The pay structure here works well between Levels 2 and 3, which is an


added incentive for the team to develop and continue to improve.


It has been strange times for everyone this year, but I feel we are lucky as an industry to work predominantly outside. We have adapted ways of working, in line with both the school and department Covid risk assessments; every team member wipes down a machine after use and there is only one person allowed in the workshop at any one time, they must keep two metres apart and only travel in vans around the site on their own, if possible. However, overall, working outside means we can easily maintain social distancing and comply with government guidelines and we are slowly getting back to a new ‘normal’.

It’s quite a daunting task, so I’m lucky to have


such a strong team on the landscape/gardening side as well as the groundstaff
