We are delighted to announce that the school is holding a textile collection for the Happy School Bag Fundraising Scheme on Thursday 20^th November.

This scheme is designed to help schools to raise funds and to help the environment by diverting discarded but reusable textiles away from landfill. In the UK alone we consume and discard over 1.4 million tonnes of textiles a year which goes directly into landfill despite the fact that there is spare capacity in textile recycling plants. By taking part in this scheme you help to reduce this amount by giving textiles a new lease of life.

To take part you simply need to fill the Happy School bag or any type of plastic bin bag with unwanted but clean clothing. We accept both children’s and adult clothes including paired shoes, accessories (hats, belts, handbags, etc…).

Remember that the more you fill up the bag the more the school can raise; we receive a competitive rate of up to 30p per kilo; you can also use additional black bin bags if required.

This is a fantastic opportunity to raise eco-friendly awareness amongst children. Everyone can take part so spread the word and let’s get fundraising!

A plastic happy bag has been sent home with your child.  Please bring all your bags to the school playground when you collect your child/ren at the end of day on Thursday 20^th November ONLY (Please DO NOT bring any bags to the school office as we are unable to accept them here) and help us have an amazing collection.

Many thanks for taking part!
