Gardening Aprons & kneeling pads request:

🌱We are hoping to get into the Eco garden as the weather improves, but with the Ringmer clay, this can be a muddy task. If you have an old apron which the students can wear to cover their school clothes and any old garden kneeling pads they can use whilst doing some weeding with me, we would really appreciate your donation. We're eager to take unwanted items and reuse these, instead of buying from new.

If you are able to donate an apron or kneeling pad, please either contact Mrs Teague to arrange dropping it off, or call into Reception and leave it with them.


  
 

Thank you again for your generosity - the Eco Reps & Mrs Teague.

 

Ringmer Community antisocial behaviour - Please read:

There have been reports in our community area of antisocial behaviour involving individuals going out and using catapults to shoot ball bearings at private dwellings and local buildings such as the church and village hall. In some instances, this has caused damage and inflicted injury. Please may we ask parents to have the appropriate conversation with their child(ren) if they are known to be in possession of a catapult and could be responsible for this. Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Kind regards,

 

Sian Williams

Principal
