M e s s a g e f r om t h e He ad of Pr i mary An important event for Primary this month has been the Healthy Me project which was initiated by the Primary School Council last September. It was so amazing to see all their hard work coming together in a number of activities/projects. The Eco-Warriors have been busy now for a number of weeks checking classrooms and other areas of school and awarding good practice with ecostickers. Likewise the Healthy Snack week was a great success, and I would like to thank parents for their support. The Health and Safety group have also been involved in checking various areas of school and reporting any risks encountered. All these activities were combined with the “Race for Hunger” event which children, parents and staff supported whole heartedly.
The success of such events is a credit to our pupils and staff and one which the Inspectors recognised: “The pupils enthusiastically accept responsibility and consider it an honour to be elected to the school council. They readily translate their strong social and civic awareness into action...” (ISI Report). The culmination of these events was indeed the work which has been going on throughout the year, sometimes behind the scenes, but always driven by the pupils for the pupils.
