• New Recycling Clothing Bin

  Wed 27 Sep 2023 Corinna Brown

  You may have noticed the large metal bin outside school, that appeared over the summer holidays!

  We have agreed to have that big bin at school, so that we can support the company to recycle clothing and paired shoes and make sure they are used again. 

  So ECO Group urge you to bring, clean reusable clothes or paired shoes, in a clean plastic bag (to make sure they stay clean) and put that bag in the clothing bin. once it is full we will ask the company to come and empty it. 

   

  So if you are having a clear out at home, getting rid of clothes that do not fit or that you do not want and you want to make sure they are reused, then put them in our clothing bin. Thank you.

• Collaboration Concert

  Thu 20 Jul 2023 Corinna Brown

  Our Collaboration Concert was a great success with Asquith Choir, Band and Dancers all performing their socks off. 

  We also sang with Wynndale and Berry Hill Primary School choirs to make up our big Collaboration Choir. 

  What a great night. Many parents came to support us and had a lovely evenings entertainment. 

   

  We thank all the organisations that supported us, especially Blue Spark Foundation who gave us a grant, so we could hire the Theatre, use buses to transport the children and buy a snack. 

  See you again next year, hopefully!
