  WELL DONE to everyone who walked, cycled or scooted to school last week. Please continue to walk, cycle, scoot and park and stride to school.

   

  Help reduce congestion in front of the school by using Convention Avenue Car Park and 'striding' the short distance to school.

• EARTH HOUR, SATURDAY 26TH MARCH

  Fri 25 Mar 2022

  Join Earth Hour tomorrow evening by, switching off the lights and devices at 8:30pm and be part of the movement to make nature matter!

   

  Earth Hour is the world’s largest voluntary action for the environment.... to raise awareness and press for action about the loss of nature.

   

  Nature not only provides us with all the things we need to live - from the air we breathe to the water we drink, and from the shelter we need to the economy we rely on - but also makes our lives better. However, its growing loss puts this all under threat.

   

  Help protect our shared home and inspire the world, one small action at a time!
