STUDENTS at Court Fields School, Wellington, have welcomed more than 50 tropical fish to their new home in the school’s Achievement for All base.

Thanks to Maidenhead Aquatics and Andrew Paxton from Interpet in Taunton, students are now learning about the fish and their habitat.

Students are also benefiting from the therapeutic qualities of the new aquarium. Senior teaching assistant John Myers said: “The new aquarium is fantastic as it creates a very calm and soothing atmosphere for learning.”

The Achievement for All base supports more than 100 children during the school week with extra learning opportunities including outdoor learning, gardening, cooking/life skills and swimming.

Anyone interested in volunteering at the base is asked to contact Helen Towler-Williams via the school office.
