I am helping a local school turn a neglected garden into an 'allotment'

One of the kids has
asked about pomegranates - would these be possible?

Yes and no. Given good drainage, pomegranates should grow without
trouble, but getting flowers needs a sunny spot and luck, and you
don't have much chance of fruit. Not even in Jersey. No summer,
by pomegranate standards.

You might succeed with Feijoa (Acca) sellowiana, though, and that
has interesting, atttractive, edible flowers. Its petals are
fleshy and slightly sweet.

Loquat should be easy.
