Last term the children elected the school councillors, two from each year group from year 1 to year 6, to represent them on the School Council. This term the councillors have been busy putting their plans into action to create an eco-friendly school. Their aim is to cut down on wasting natural resources and energy by encouraging their fellow pupils to turn off lights and stop taps dripping. The school has recently taken delivery of a compost bin that will be used to recycle waste from the fruit and veg scheme, paper shreddings etc.

Last term finished with a Carol Service in St Mary’s Church when the KS 2 children were joined by their parents and other family members for a service of readings and music. The standard of the singing was excellent, especially the descants. Thank you to all the staff and children. |
