So great to see local school pupils displaying their environmental creativity. Well done to all involved.

To celebrate World Environment Day, we’re proud to unveil the finished creations from The Remake Project ♻️

Working with local primary schools, Winkfield St Mary's C of E Primary, The Pines School, Holly Spring Primary School and Ascot Heath Primary School, students redressed old sculpture bases to create a colourful display using materials donated by our community, parents and retailers at The Lexicon.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed, including CeX, The Bull Bracknell, Musica Bracknell, Brown Bag and Costa in Next.

The sculptures are now on display in the unit between Mango and River Island, so pop by and take a look 👀

This week is Volunteers Week, celebrating the great work that volunteers do for our community.

These volunteers include school governors who give up their time to help in the running of our great schools.

Being a school governor simply takes enthusiasm and some of your spare time. There is support and training offered.

Governors can be parents or people from local community and businesses, of all ages and backgrounds, bringing a range of useful skills and experiences.
