Our sustainability character day today has had many facets but part of this was community contribution. Great work from year 7 litter picking the field and helping to create an environment we can all be proud of!

Super Green Day session with Y10s @Charles_Read_ exploring how they can make their food consumption more sustainable by food substitution (vegetarian v meat based products - can you tell the difference), buying local, planning to use left overs and eating seasonally. #SustainableDRET @DRETnews

Very excited to be supporting our first Green Day/Character Day across the trust @DRETnews @Charles_Read_ #SustainableDRET I get the pleasure of working with students doing food tasting and planning meals from leftovers today. #SustainableFood
