Looking forward to Sustainability Week 14 - 18 March

It seems that every week we are reminded of the fragility of our planet and the need for everyone to think more deeply about sustainability, both individually and collectively. 

Parents and guardians may remember that we have set aside a dedicated week in March when we will be focusing on sustainability with all pupils. Teaching and support staff and our growing Green Group of Lancing pupils are involved in the wide range of talks, workshops, competitions and an exhibition across the week and we are all looking forward to learning more and having new conversations on many different aspects of this important topic.
