School is holding a non uniform day next Wednesday, June 26, to raise funds to buy equipment for the Duke of Edinburgh intrepid explorers.

They desperately need  a stockpile of tents, boots and sleeping bags that will be utilised for years to come and will benefit many, many students who will take part in the worthwhile scheme.

Please support this effort and send in money donations  via ParentPay by midday Tuesday, June 25, or money will be collected at line-ups on Wednesday.

Mrs Racon went on to explain: “Our students have really embraced the Duke of Edinburgh scheme and have loved learning new skills in the great outdoors. They have learned team-building and experienced some things that will stay with them their whole lives. This is the first year we have run the scheme and it has been so rewarding. The feedback from those involved has been outstanding.”

She added: “The equipment we hope to buy will enable more students to become involved and gain this fabulous programme.”
