Libraries are doing their bit for climate change

Here at the KSHS library we are making moves towards using less plastic; Replacing plastic date stamp pockets with more sustainable paper versions produced on site, and by using fewer plastic covers where possible (this can however shorten the life of a popular book- think how many times a book gets unintentionally knocked around in a school rucksack each day!). Books that have become too tatty and reached the end of their shelf life are recycled, recrafted or sold in our charity book sales.  We also have recycling bins in the library and encourage students to think carefully about what they need to print out.

Carers’ Rights Day is Thursday 25 November 2021. Whether you know of a carer/young carer; you are new to caring or have been caring for a while; or you are caring for a child, parent, partner, sibling or anyone else, Carers’ Rights Day helps to ensure carers are aware of their rights and know where they can access support.  

Know the Past - Shape the Future

The library collection is constantly being updated, and by scrutinising and sourcing the best resources we can provide an up to date and accessible collection for our students.

Representatives from the Robert Carre Trust Members, Trustees and Local Governing Bodies from both schools held their Governance Review Afternoon on Thursday 7 October in the Main Hall at KSHS.

Last Sunday it was World Mental Health Day. This year’s theme was ‘mental health in an unequal world’, asking us to think about the issues that cause mental health inequality both locally and globally.
