Not In My Neighbourhood

On Wednesday 15th October, a group of pupils went out into Failsworth to work with First Choice Homes Oldham, Street Scene, Faislworth Q Youth Centre, local councillors and the Police to help with a litter clean up - a part of the national Not In My Neighbourhood week.

All the pupils did a brilliant job and Elaine Morgan from First Choice Homes Oldham commented that "The pupils were a fantastic help and took part in a number of initiatives including litter picking and providing tenants and residents with enery saving items... the pupils are a credit to the school".
