You wouldn't belive it we eat a staggering 7,300,000,000 thats 7.3 billion every year more than any other European country.

Green Flag

On the 2nd October 2019 our school was assessed by a Green Flag assessor. We passed and are just waiting for our Green flag to show our local community that we are an Eco School. Well done to the eco warriors and everyone who workeed so hard over the last few years.

Nature at RiceLane

Our whole school has taken part in "what's under your feet"? this year and has found out some amazing things. We had visits to all of our year groups by RSPB and became investigators in our own grounds. We had an amazing time and look forward to posting our photos!

Ballard Bee Blog - Part 3

Mr Bellars has liaised with Mr Povey, the Site Manager, Mr Whitbread, the Director of Sport and Mrs Munro, the Bursar, and the final site for the Ballard Bees has been finalised! We are going to put them on the far field, near the lone pine tree in the far right hand corner... To start with, we will be "bee-sitting" the Lopez-Dunning family's bees, with a view to getting our own afterwards.
