This month, we are really focussing our attention on our ‘green flag’ campaign. At the moment, we are working towards our fourth green flag!
Our Green School Committee, works hard to maintain all of our past green campaigns – recycling, saving water and electricity.

As you can see, a LOT of cars are driving us to and from school every single day. We are going to try to change this!

2. WOW
We took part in the national Walk on Wednesday campaign. Some children were able to walk to school on Wednesday morning…
Everyone took part in a school walk to encourage people to leave cars behind and walk!
