🌱 Great British Spring Clean 2026 – School Parliament Litter Pick 🌱

As part of the Great British Spring Clean 2026 Schools Litter Pick contest, members of our School Parliament spent an hour out in the local community helping to make our environment cleaner and greener.

The children did a marvellous job, working with real enthusiasm and teamwork. By the end of the session, they had collected 12 full bags of litter from around the local area — an impressive achievement in such a short time.

There were some surprising finds along the way, including:

  • A pair of old shoes
  • A discarded shower screen
  • Plenty of cans and bottles
  • And, of course, the usual windblown litter that gathers in hedges and verges

Their hard work has made a visible difference, and they should feel incredibly proud of the positive impact they’ve had on their community.

Easter Raffle

Our Easter Raffle has been drawn this morning.

All prizes have been delivered to class so our winners will bring home their eggs today.

Well done to our lucky winners!
