Lakeside Help to Save the Albatross
Lakeside School are working hard to make sure they care for their environment. This year, the school sent a note with all their Christmas cards, asking for the recipient to save the stamp, and in turn help Save the Albatross with the RSPB. Our stamp appeal is one of the largest stamp appeals. It runs throughout the year, and in 2008 you helped raise over £10,000. Well, the humble stamp has a resale value – small, but still valuable in large enough quantities. When you send in your stamps you are helping give these birds a brighter future. For example, £50’s worth of stamp sales will buy a tori-line (bird scaring device) for a longline fishing vessel. For more information, please visit: |

Fairtrade

Lakeside Environmentally Aware
The staff and pupils of Lakeside School are working hard to improve their environmental credentials. The whole school is working towards Green Flag Status, which is the highest Eco-School’s award. Eco-Schools is an international award programme that guides schools on their sustainable journey, providing a framework to help embed key principles into the heart of school life. The prestigious Green Flag award, which symbolises excellence in the field of environmental activity, sets out challenging long-term aspirations for schools to promote learning about sustainable development issues and sustainable practices into everyday school life. The pupils at Lakeside are the driving force behind the Green Flag Status – they play active part of the ActionTem and help carry out an audit to assess the environmental performance of their school. Through consultation with the rest of the school and the wider community it is the pupils that decide which environmental themes they want to address and how they are going to do it. Measuring and monitoring is an integral part of the Eco-Schools programme, providing schools with all the evidence they need to really shout about their environmental success.

On Sunday 10th October 2010, staff and pupils of Lakeside School and their friends and families took part in a 6k ‘Fun Run’ in aid of Cancer Research UK and Fair Trade. Mr Jim Toolan and Miss Gemma Critchley, class teachers at Lakeside, spent a great number of weeks organising the fun run, which was held in Halewood, Liverpool. Victoria Size, Head Teacher commented: “We were thrilled with the response from family and friends of Lakeside School, who all dug deep to raise as much money as possible for two very worthy causes and we did not expect to raise the amount that we did, particularly as we are such a small school. I am delighted that we have been able to donate £2500 in total to our two causes.” Lizzie Jones, Senior Area Manager for Cancer Research UK commented: “It was lovely to meet you all and thank you once again for your support! The amount raised for Cancer Research UK is tremendous and will go such a long way in contributing to our work to find new ways to treat, prevent and diagnose cancer I would like to thank the staff, pupils, their families and friends for organising and supporting the hugely successful fun run! Our work would not be possible without your support. We have made significant progress in understanding and treating cancer, yet one in three of us will still get cancer at some point in our lives so there’s much more we need to do. Our vital work, funded entirely by the public, will mean that many more people will survive. Thank you.”
