We were delighted to be invited down to the beach alongside other local schools to take part in a special environmental event with the wonderful Debbie Bartlett from Litter Free Felixstowe. As the only beach school in Felixstowe, it was particularly meaningful for us to be involved. The event was held to celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday, recognising his lifelong dedication to protecting the natural world.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our children to learn more about environmental responsibility and the importance of keeping our beaches clean. We were incredibly proud to take part, especially as the event was featured on ITV and BBC News, helping to showcase the positive impact young people can have within their community.

Most of all, we were immensely proud of how our children represented the school. Their enthusiasm, teamwork and positive attitudes were a real credit to them, and their behaviour throughout the visit was impeccable.
