\nWe\u2019re asking all pupils to take greater responsibility for looking after our community and environment. \ud83c\udf0d\ud83d\udc9a If you walk through The Den or use the bike tracks, please make sure you take your rubbish home or use the bins provided. Every small action helps protect this amazing space for everyone. \ud83d\ude4c\u2728
\n\ud83e\udde4\ud83c\udf31 Want to help? Join a litter pick!
