Litter Pickers - Keeping our school tidy!
Recently students in Year 7 and 8 have had the opportunity
to help tackle waste and litter at the school after we were

day two tutor group have been using their litter pickers during
registration to help make the school a better place by removing
waste from the school grounds.
Currently around the UK there are a number of campaigns
aiming to reduce litter, waste and in particular plastic pollution.
We’re pleased that with the support of the local council, our
students have had opportunity to make a small contribution to
this. All students who have been involved can rightly feel proud of
themselves.

golden trio, debate the character of Snape and
blossom into a fully-fledged Marauder! Thank
you in advance for your support, and in the
words of Dumbledore; “Words are, in my not-
so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible
