• Active Travel Grant Scooters Purchased

  Fri 07 Feb 2025 Scoot

  A huge thank you to our hard working PTA who sourced and assembled our newly purchased Scooters. This grant is about linking healthy lifestyles and using both bicycles and scooters within school. As the weather improves we hope to encourage them to be used for travelling to and from school. PTA did a great job today, all the scooters needed unpacking and fixing together. Lots of fun for all !
