Red Nose Day this Friday

There are a growing number of schools in the Country contacting parents and carers and suggesting that they do not buy ‘Red Noses’ to support the Charity Event this coming Friday due to the high focus on plastic pollution. With Sir David Attenborough raising awareness of the environmental impact of plastic pollution through his BBC Blue Planet programme, some may feel that the noses are another form of unnecessary plastic that will probably end up in landfill. We would still wish to support this great charity but are happy to suggest that if you too feel this is important, your child could bring a donation into school that will go 100% to the charity, and either paint their own nose before coming into school or at lunch time, we could paint their nose red using face paints. It is NOT a non uniform day this week- it is still full school uniform.
