⛰️🌳 𝓢𝓴𝓲𝓭𝓭𝓪𝔀 𝓕𝓸𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓟𝓻𝓸𝓳𝓮𝓬𝓽 ⛰️🌳 Before half term, some of our wonderful Central students went ‘off grid’ on a two-day visit into the heart of the Lake District as part of the pioneering Skiddaw Forest Project in partnership with Cumbria Wildlife Trust. The programme gave students hands-on experience in environmental conservation, including planting native species and learning about efforts to restore an ancient temperate rainforest and blanket bog on a 1,200-acre site. 
As the first school involved in this 100-year restoration project, the students made a valuable contribution and provided feedback that will help Cumbria Wildlife Trust develop the programme for other schools and youth groups. Their enthusiasm and engagement throughout made the experience a great success. 💚 #NatureEngagement #EnvironmentalConservation #LearningOutsideTheClassroom #WeAreRRCA #AmbitionResilienceRespect

🌹 𝕃𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕎𝕖 𝔽𝕠𝕣𝕘𝕖𝕥 🌹 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘺 𝘈𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘺 Today, our whole school community came together for a poignant Remembrance Day assembly to honour and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. As we reflected on the courage, sacrifice and selflessness of generations past and present, our students demonstrated the utmost respect and maturity throughout. A special thank you to our Combined Cadet Force (CCF) students, who led the service alongside Mr Markham with great dignity, professionalism and respect. A powerful reminder of the importance of remembrance, gratitude and peace. We will remember them. ❤️ #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem #WeAreRRCA #AmbitionResilienceRespect
