Pupil Voice
The Eco and School Council have introduced a 'UNIFORM EXCHANGE RAIL' to help reduce clothing waste. If you would like to donate gently-used or nearly new school uniform or you are in need of a uniform item you can find the exchange rail inside the P1/P2 exit door which will be open before and after school.
