    The Wider Image: Urban school farm opens world of opportunity

    Student Megan Pitt puts a head collar onto one of the school's North Ronaldsay sheep during an animal handling session on the farm at Woodchurch High School near Birkenhead, Britain, September 13, 2023. Woodchurch itself ranks in the top 10 percent of local areas in England for income deprivation. Last month local authorities announced that the nearby leisure centre would be demolished. And with UK social mobility at its lowest ebb in over 50 years, restricting people from moving to a higher income level, the farm's ability to expose its students to people and professions far removed from the school's urban trappings is more important than ever.
