Corey Hanna, teacher and eco-coordinator at the school, said: “We’re delighted to be taking part in the Daily Mile and promoting active travel in the school. It’s great for the young people to be involved and it has also involved the staff and parents!
“We have organised lots of different activities to entice all our kids to take part and we are so proud and overwhelmed with the effort of participation. Let’s hope we get our green flag status this year!”
