We finished our Sports Week today with Year 6 and Reception.

For our Year 6s, it’s their last Sports Day at St Andrew’s. They showed their years of practise, expertise and competitiveness!🥇 They have also spent the week helping the other classes on their Sports Day and we can’t thank them enough for their hard work!

For the Receptions, this was their first Sports Day on the KS2 yard. They picked up the events quickly, listened well to the Year 6s and the adults and showed great skill, determination and encouragement for their friends!

Well done to all involved🐯🐯 #watergrovetrust #providingmore

At Watergrove Trust, the commitment has always been about Providing More. Today, that promise extends far beyond the classroom and directly into the very world our learners will inherit.

This week we hosted our first annual Climate Change and Sustainability Summit led by Claire Hilton and Hannah Holt. Colleagues from across Watergrove Trust joined together to learn more about our Carbon Emissions and how small changes can make a big difference. As a group we collaboratively worked to co-create Watergrove Trusts Climate Action & Sustainability Roadmap and enjoyed a sustainably produced lunch.

During the summit we:

Considered the Lifecycle of a glue stick, thinking about the invisible carbon impact

Shared our trust wide carbon footprint

Reviewed robust climate action plans

Hosted workshops packed with practical, actionable ideas to bring back to our communities

Explored hands-on projects – including spreading wildflower seed bombs to create vibrant new habitats and getting outdoors to understand more about biodiversity. Thank you to Brian McNally, Jodie Neville and Tracey Blackburn for their inspiring workshops.

We are excited to see these plans take root and to continue working together to foster a greener, more sustainable future.

Special thanks to Open Kitchen for providing delicious and sustainable food.
