Whole School Involvement:

Harvest Celebrations 2025

Global Citizenship - As a whole school, we celebrate Harvest Festival as usual, but this year we wanted to support our local community even more. We used the book 'No money day' by Kate Milner so the children understood the importance of the food bank and why donations are vital. Each class did an activity around this and presented it at our Harvest Festival at our local church. This was a big celebration of singing, prayers and supporting our community. As a school, we asked parents to donate what food or household products they could donate to the foodbank. We also put it out to our village to see if other people wanted to donate and we put posters up in our local area including the village hall, shops, hairdressers and local fish and chip shop. The event was a huge success and we donated the most amount of food we ever had. We are so proud of our school and wider community! Thank you to everyone who donated!

2025-2026 Eco Events

Arctic Fundraiser

4th July 2025

Thank you to everyone for donated to our Eco fundraiser in July. We managed to raise £88.35 this year which was wonderful. The children want to adopt a polar with part of the money and then the rest will go towards other eco projects next academic year.

Bee Good Competition

Eco club, Eco committee and Gardening club teamed up to enter a garden competition run by Rural Community Council of Essex. We designed and made multiple flowers beds around the school to support wildlife especially insects. We have also protected minibeast habitats by sectioning parts of the school, when we find new habitats have been established. For example, the miner bees came back this year and we have a stag beetle habitat onsite.

All of this hard work earned us 'Runners Up' in the competition. We are so proud! 

Spring Pickers

Thank you to everyone who took part in Spring Pickers this year! We collected over 250 pieces of litter in our local area in only 10 days.

We have such enthusiastic an enthusiastic Eco-committee here at Alresford. It is great to see how enthusiastic our school is about being 'greener' and helping the environment!
