The college has been working with ten and 11-year-old pupils at Mayflower Community Academy to design and build a bird hide to be used by visitors to the island, which is being opened up to the public.
The pupils have been designing and building scale-model bird hides as part of a design and technology project on frame structures, which also served to teach the children about local businesses.
As part of the project, the children were treated to a visit to Drake’s Island where they met entrepreneur and island owner Morgan Phillips, who acquired the land in 2019 and wants to make it a tourist destination so it can be enjoyed by the public.
