Smartphone Free Update

Following our continued intention to work towards smart-phone free childhoods, we would like to thank those of you who have taken your time to share your thoughts with us.

We have had some feedback with many of you expressing strong support for the initiative while others have raised thoughtful questions. We value all of this feedback and want to ensure that our final decisions are informed by the views of the school community and therefore we would like to hear from more of you.

We kindly ask all families to read THIS letter and complete the short questionnaire included within. 

The deadline for completion is Friday 21st November.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.

'Cut Your Carbon' Campaign

Team Eco have been hard at work thinking of ways we can become even more eco-friendly both at school and in the community. As a result, we are very excited to introduce a new, whole school initiative for November called 'Cut Your Carbon'. Throughout November, we are challenging everyone at Team Hordle to complete THESE 6 simple carbon-cutting actions (also found below) at home with friends and family. These actions will reduce your everyday carbon emissions, help to save some money and benefit our beautiful planet.  

We kindly ask all families to complete THIS 30 second form by Sunday 30th November so that we can tally our carbon savings and enter our results to the Eco Schools programme in the hopes of winning a bespoke mural for the school!

Team Eco wish to thank you for your carbon cutting support!
