Not sure where to start when talking about relationships?
#AskTheAwkward aims to help parents and carers have regular conversations with their children about online relationships and more. The resource includes three short films created in a social experiment style, with real parents and their children to capture their reactions to a range of questions.

Our John Muir Award is now well underway having now completed 10 weeks of our project. We have had visitors from The NAC Rangers and The Woodland Trust and we have visited Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue Centre.
We have learnt about the importance of trees, wildlife and conservation and gained valuable life skills along the way. We have spent the last few weeks clearing the school allotment and planning what vegetable to plant next year.
Here are some of the pictures so far!
