Community Links
As a school, we are very proud of the social actions that our children are involved in each year. This year we have signed up to be part of the Social Impact Schools Award to recognise the achievements of our children and hopefully extend their reach from local to national and global initiatives. Fundraising activities and community work we do in school will earn the children badges. Children are also encouraged to think of ways they can take social action outside of school - Just let us know if your child is involved in any social action and we will award them the appropriate badge.
The video link below was shared by the school council in assembly to launch the start of the award. Watch this space for the events that the children are planning throughout the year.

October
School Council organised harvest collections for the local food bank. Every child who brought in a donation received their bronze donator badge.
November
As part of the anti-bullying campaign 'Choose Respect' children were asked to design posters or write a speech to promote anti-bullying.
December
For the last few years, we have supported our local Life Church with their Stuff the Sleigh campaign by donating new toys and gifts for local families at Christmas.
Food Waste Strategy
Our Eco-Warriors are leading an initiative with the local council to increase the number of households recycling food waste. As a school, we have started to recycle our food waste which reduces the carbon dioxide emissions and also saves the school money at the same time. As part of the initiative, which is sponsored by H W Martins who run the council's recycling centres, the children are collecting 'pledges' from local residents. Once 1500 pledges have been collected, the school will receive a wildflower meadow on the school grounds. Congratulations to Penny Y5 for designing the winning sticker which can be found on food caddies all round Neston.
Choir
Our fabulous choir sing at many events around Neston. Most recently, they sang at the Neston Winter Fair.
Silver Mail
For a number of years, our Y5 children have been pen pals with a number of elderly Neston residents. Silver Mail provides the opportunity for inter-generational links through letter writing and sharing events.
