Thank you all for your support. 

Green Scene

Thank you so much to everyone who attended our last volunteer session at the school. We weeded, harvested a ton of Mint, did a lot of watering and made some awesome bubble machines out of old plastic bottles and fruit net amongst other things! We will definitely be making these again during our next volunteer session as it was a huge hit with the children and adults. 

Our next volunteer session will be taking place on Sunday 21st July 10-12:30pm. We hope lots of you can join us! Volunteer sessions will be taking place on the 3rd Sunday of every month going forward.

Rights Respecting School

As a Rights Respecting School, we focus each month on a particular Article from the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child. Assemblies, Circle time and class activities are based on these Rights. In connection with these, we also have a Value of the Month. Together, the Rights & Values encourage our learners to be respectful of each other, safe, and to be the best they can be.

Right of the Month for June

You have the right to rest and play (Article 31)
