Farming school
A British farmer’s wife has set up a school in a derelict cow shed. Anne Miller had been a teacher at the local village primary but lost her job when it closed, so she and husband Geoffrey set up their own private school at Hollyfields farm at West Bourton, near Gillingham, Dorset.
The Millers spent £250,000 converting the old cow shed into two classrooms, toilets, office and staff room.
The farmyard is now a concrete playground and the old vegetable patch is the football pitch.
Mrs Miller, 50, said: "We have lots of animals running about and the children get to interact with them and see life cycles all year round." She employs four staff - all former colleagues from the old school - to help look after the 23 four to nine-year-olds.
