They have also organised a competition to design a poster promoting healthy snacks. The poster will be used around school to highlight what foods are acceptable at break and why. There will be prizes for the winning entries. The closing date is Monday 17th October.

Competition Success for the School Council !

A big well done to the School Council for winning 2nd prize in a competition entered before lockdown. The £500 cash prize was awarded by the Rotary Club.

The Council successfully put forward a case for improving and extending the play area, to include a bark chip surface where tyres, logs and other natural resources can be used. In the future, they would like to add a summer house, raised beds and reflection area. This money will help kick start this project.
