Ferndown First School are very proud of their Green Flag status. As part of their efforts to help the community and the school become more eco-friendly, they recycle crisp packets, bottle tops, baby food pouches and pens. The Eco Committee recently sent off their first bundle of recycling to Terracycle and received a fantastic £80 as a reward.

The John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation was delighted to be chosen as the recipient charity for their first donation. Huge thanks to the Eco Committee and Mrs Smith for all their hard work. It takes a lot of time to sort all the recycling ready to send off!

If you would like to help your community too, you can find the recycling bins in the school office entrance lobby.
