Since September 2018, we have been striving to attain our fourth Green Flag. The theme for this is Travel Awareness.  All pupils and classes have been taking special measures to try and reduce the amount of traffic coming to and from school each day, by carpooling, park and stride,  walking and cycling (where possible) and taking the bus.  We have also been analysing Food Miles, and how many miles the food we eat daily has travelled to reach us.  By trying to buy more locally and reducing traffic, we hope to reduce our carbon footprint, save more energy and see a reduction in fossil fuels being admitted into the atmosphere.

During our curriculum work for Travel  Flag we organised a  WOW - Walk on  Wednesday- where, students and  staff walked  to  school and ditched cars and  even the   school bus- One arrival to  school,  the children had some breakfast!
This was  a really enjoyable morning. 

Our hard working Committee has just submitted our application to achieve our Travel Flag.
