Since Easter year 7 learners have been working on the Eco Project, Transition and Healthy Life-Styles. In the Eco-Project learners have created projects exploring the issues of both litter and recycling. Seb in Year 7 performed to whole staff and governors about his passion for reducing plastic waste. Now the canteen has reduced much more single use plastic and additionally we now have more recycling bins due to raised awareness and funds from learners projects.

To support year 6 transition, year 7 produced letters personalised to all of year 6 to create a pen friend. They have also worked on transition videos which a selection are to be shared on our induction days. Transition leaders and helpers are leading a workshop to support the Year 6 transition.

In Year 8 learners have explored Fair Trade and raised around £300 to support the farmers in Africa through their various means of fundraising this year. They also raised £400 for Macmillan and Cancer Research through fundraising bake sales, selling wrist bands and sporting events. Mrs Willis’ project group have been developing our market garden in an environmental project. They have refurbished the planters through their design and budgeting skills.

Other groups have been exploring marketing campaigns to support the local RSPCA animal charity to offer support and funding and raise awareness about animal cruelty.
