Pastures new for 4 Roedean Sheep

After a bountiful lambing season this spring, four of the sheep from the School Farm have moved to a Farm in West Sussex that runs educational programmes.

The 120-acre site in the South Downs was leased by the charity Lorica in 2004 and runs educational programmes for young people with physical or learning difficulties. The girls were, of course, sad to see them leave the farm, but they are proud that they will be doing a great deal of good in the wider community. In exchange for the sheep, we brought back six Bantam hens. Leland Fieldsend, Head of Experiential Learning and an experienced shepherd who runs the farm with some of the pupils says, ‘We are delighted that, just as they have here at Roedean, the ewes will make a meaningful difference to young people’s lives; they are brilliantly interactive, and should fit into their new home very well. The bantam hens we received in return are already favorites among the Roedean flock, and we look forward to lots of Roedean eggs!’
