3rd October 2025
Year 5 had a fantastic day bell boating on the River Avon in Stratford. The pupils learned how to paddle up and down the river by working as a team, even navigating through the lock! Along the way, they also helped the environment by collecting plastic debris from the water. The children showed great determination, teamwork and enthusiasm throughout the whole day. We are really looking forward to competing in the Stratford Schools Regatta in the coming weeks...watch this space!

All of the recycling collected at the kerbside in Warwickshire goes to Sherbourne Recycling in Coventry. This is a facility co-owned by the 5 waste collection authorities in Warwickshire – North Warwickshire Borough, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough, Rugby Borough, Stratford District and Warwick District, alongside Coventry, Solihull and Walsall Councils.
The Rescue Me! Recycle campaign continues to shine a spotlight on items that are not routinely put in the recycling bin by everyone and too often end up in the rubbish bin.
Following the success of last year’s campaign, Rescue Me! Recycle returns with two new recycling items joining the recycling mission:
- Empty shampoo and other toiletry bottles; and
- Clean metal kitchen foil and foil trays.
The above two items join the list of recycling items from last year:
- Trigger spray bottles;
- Aerosols like deodorant and air freshener cans;
- Yoghurt pots; and
- Toilet roll tubes and kitchen roll tubes
In Warwickshire, the Waste and Recycling Team are putting missed recycling items front and centre by sharing their top tips for recycling:
Recycle more of these items: empty bottles from food and non-food products; clean metal foil.
Make sure you recycle these items: cleaning product bottles; aerosols; yoghurt pots; toilet roll tubes; beverage and food cartons (sometimes called Tetrapak).
Items need to be empty and rinsed: whole, not squashed; keep lids on.
These items should not go in your kerbside recycling bin: vapes; batteries; electrical and electronic items; nappies; cookware
