Trees for Cities
Our Eco Warriors have been busy working with Trees for Cities to create beautiful artwork inspired by our local parks. Their hard work paid off when they visited Hartlepool Art Gallery to see their creations proudly displayed for the community to enjoy. During their visit, they also took part in nature-inspired craft activities—and even brought home a tree to plant!
We’re so proud of their creativity, enthusiasm, and commitment to caring for our environment.

Sharing the Gift of Love
Our Eco Warriors have been spreading Christmas cheer in the most eco-friendly way! This month, they created colourful posters and led a campaign encouraging everyone to donate Christmas jumpers and unwanted toys. Their aim is to give these items a new life and share kindness with families in our community.
Thanks to their hard work, pupils and families across the school have been inspired to take part and “Gift the Gift of Love” this Christmas. All donated items will be passed on to local groups who support children and families, helping make the festive season brighter for others while reducing waste.
A big well done to our Eco Warriors for promoting generosity, sustainability, and holiday spirit!
