Hedgehog Rescue

After taking SATs week in their stride, Year 6 have had a very busy week which included a hedgehog rescue!

Hedgehog-Friendly School – Gold Award!

We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the gold hedgehog-friendly schools award. With a challenging 60 points needed for gold, we managed a whopping 93 points!

We love doing our bit to help hedgehogs. Congratulations too go to our neighbours, the University of York, who also achieved gold.

Hedgehog First Aid Kits

We prepared fully stocked emergency hedgehog first aid kits – one for us, and one for our fellow hedgehog fans at the university!

Stamp collecting for our spiky friends

We have a box in the school entrance for used stamps which will support the work of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society. Please help us to fill it up!

Thank you!

Meet Bob

Meet Bob. Bob is a hedgehog that was found in a bad way.

Fiona, who runs Urchins Hedgehog Care in York, nursed Bob back to full health. Unfortunately, Bob was unable to be returned to where he was found. Without hesitation, we offered Bob a new home in our wonderful grounds and Fiona chose us to adopt him.

Leaflets and litter-picking for our hedgehog champions

Year 6 researched threats that hedgehogs face. The children chose three hazards they wanted to raise awareness about and designed and made their own leaflets. Today, we have been into the community to deliver them. Pupils wanted to litter pick too.
