Uniform Recycling
We are delighted to continue Onthank’s School Uniform Recycling System. We are committed to continuing to meet the important ECO School Status criteria and are also proud of our achievement of being recognised as a UNICEF Gold Level Rights Respecting School.
We are always very keen to teach our children about the importance of looking after the planet, while looking for new ways that we can contribute towards ECO and Sustainability Global Goals.
We also appreciate that the buying of school uniform adds extra costs to families and want to try to help with this as much as possible, as well as finding sustainable ways to recycle the vast volume of un-named uniform items that lie unclaimed in our lost property area.
We are therefore inviting you to help support us, the planet and each other, by handing in any items of school uniform which are clean and in good condition, but are no longer required by your child. These items will then be sorted and recycled and a regular uniform stall will be set up to give you the opportunity to view and take away any items of uniform that can be put to good use by your child. All items are free and there will be no charge for any item at this stall.
We are collecting your Christmas Cards again for Recycling after the holidays.
Today as part of our Dyslexia Friendly Schools journey, the whole school was involved in NO PENS DAY WEDNESDAY. This is a national speaking and listening event which encourages exciting classroom discussion. Check out the blog for class photos.
