We are now raising money to fund phase 3 of the ivy green screen project at John Ball - to cover the KS2 playground including the sports cage. Please help us raise the extra money we need.

An ivy green screen is incredibly effective at reducing pollution and noise, as well as providing privacy for the children when playing.

Research shows that green screens are an effective measure to improve local air quality, helping to protect against respiratory diseases. They also increase biodiversity and provide a more natural environment for children to play and thrive.

Like many inner London schools, John Ball is blighted by dirty air caused by heavy traffic. The children of our Pupil Voice committee identified the need to address this, and as such has become a priority for our school community.
