Dear Parents
As the session draws to an end, we can look and be rightly proud of our many achievements this session, particularly in gaining our second GREEN FLAG for ECO work. The new session will see us with renewed and continued commitment towards a third flag!
Our school ECO enterprise has been very successful, with each class putting their enterprise skills to great effect to add improvement to the school grounds. You can read about this on the school web site.
