  We'll be sending out a bulletin on Monday with more information, but there are lots of things happening this term, so make sure you check the website calendar for upcoming dates.

• Outdoor Classroom

  Thu 01 Dec 2022 Miss Wellington

  Check out our new outdoor classroom from Pentagon Play! We are delighted with the new space, which will be used by all children, from Reception to Year 6 for outdoor lessons. The classroom will be used for Forest School and outdoor clubs too! 

   

  On behalf of all 390 children and the staff at Brampton, we would like to say thank you very much, Friends of Brampton, for working incredibly hard to raise the money for this amazing project! And thank you to our parents/carers for your contributions over the last few years - without your generous donations at Brampton events purchasing the outdoor classroom wouldn't have been possible. We have already started to use it and it is such a wonderful space for facilitating outdoor learning. It is worth every penny! 

  

• Eco Champions' Local Litter Pick

  Mon 14 Nov 2022 Miss Wellington (Eco Champion Leader)

  Brampton's Eco Champions have set an ambitious action plan for this year and are aiming to:

   

  - Raise the profile of environmental sustainability and the 3Rs: reduce, recycle and reuse

  - Reduce air pollution and improve air quality around the school

  - Reduce the school’s food miles

  - Reduce the school’s energy use

   

  They will be delivering assemblies, hosting events, and carrying out important work throughout the year to help the Brampton community become more eco-friendly.

   

  On Monday 14th November, the Eco Champions helped out in the local community by litter picking in the streets surrounding the school and at Danson Park. They did a great job! Well done, Eco Champions!
