East Tilbury Primary, Pennant 621

Our Sea wall is a walkway around East Tilbury on the Thames Estuary, right next to Coalhouse Fort. This stretch of water, The Thames Estuary is significant to us and the local community. Firstly, this is a place both of beauty but also pain - it is place of battle (the Fort) but also a place of peace (nature). Secondly, it is a place that provided comfort and fresh air during Covid lockdowns, where we could walk during our one bit of daily exercise. To us the sea wall and places around it, are part of who we are as East Tilbury pupils – it has always been there for us, and we hope that it will always be there for future generations to enjoy views and exercise. Being in those spaces helps us to feel calm and to enjoy nature.

Our pledge is that we will continue to enjoy using the walks along the sea wall of East Tilbury and encourage our local school community to do the same!
