Deputy mayor of Havering, Cllr Christine Vickery, attended with her consort and husband Thomas Vickery to officially open the garden.

Headteacher Lynn Hogan-O'Neill thanked everyone who has been a part of making the "vision a beautiful reality" and said the project has been "exciting" for pupils.

She added: “It has been wonderful to watch them transform the area into a Haven of Happiness.

“They all know that they need to continue the hard work as the garden evolves and matures.

“This will also become a quiet learning space for all the children to use."
