ACADEMICS
SUSTAINABILITY
Year 9 and Year 12 members of the
Sustainability Committee visited
Ramsham Farm to learn about
their rewilding project. They helped with
the removal of Japanese Knotweed to
encourage other species of flora to thrive
along the banks of the Tavy and came
away with valuable advice on how to
establish and manage a wildlife reserve.
Year 4 pupils welcomed Katie Lopes
from the sustainable clothing company
Stripe and Stare on Tuesday. They were
shocked to learn about where most of
our clothes come from and where they
end up when we throw them away!
Katie told them how the clothes at her
company are made, making sure they
are as sustainable as possible; including
knickers which completely biodegrade
in just 180 days! The pupils were full of
questions and ideas about how they
could make a difference to the future of
our planet.
