The day saw students doing tasks as varied as balsam bashing, gardening, maintenance, reading with pupils, conducting a bioblitz, helping at Otley Action for Older People’s Lunch Club and painting flowerpot scarecrows!

 “Our links with the community are very important to us and we always try to impress on our students that global citizenship begins at home. Our students enjoy the opportunity to learn more about the place in which they live and the people they share it with, as well as building their skills and confidence whilst trying something new.” said Christopher Lillington, Assistant Headteacher: Learning Community, who organised the day.

Despite appalling rain, the students (and staff!) remained cheerful and worked really hard! We are very proud of them all.
