You may be aware of the media coverage recently about the effect discarded plastic is having on our ecosystem. As part of the council’s commitment to reducing plastic waste – and the impact it has on the environment – it has been agreed that plastic cups will be removed from all water coolers. As such we will no longer be able to provide children with plastic cups for water when our current stocks are depleted. Can we ask that you ensure your child brings a water bottle filled with water only to school to help keep them hydrated throughout the day? We also have water fountains in the infant and senior area where children can refill their bottles during the school day.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support in helping to reduce the impact plastic has on the environment.
