Eco-Schools Green Flag Award
We are very proud to have been awarded the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award for our commitment to sustainability and protecting our planet.
The Eco-Schools programme has been inspiring young people for over 30 years. In the UK alone, the programme reaches over 1 million young people each year and we are very pleased to be part of this.
Maine Event
Our American Exchange students have had an amazing first week in Maine on the American Exchange.
They've already packed a lot in. They've been to a high school football game, sampled pumpkin pie, played flag football, been swimming and pumpkin picking, visited the ballet, carved some pumpkins (it's all about the pumpkins!), been to the mall and done some local sightseeing.
They've also been to Wolfe's Neck Center in Freeport, a long-standing tradition on the Exchange, and recreated a photo from the very first Exchange back in 1989.
