Hi everyone, Milo here!
It’s one of my favourite times of the year! I’ve seen so many of you doing amazing things for the planet, but we can’t stop now. Recycling is vital to our mission at Alpha, and you can make a huge impact from home.
Ready for an eco-win?
♻️Squash it: Flatten boxes and bottles to save space in the bin.
♻️Give it a rinse: Cleaning containers prevents contamination so more can be recycled.
♻️Food first: Composting scraps turns waste into energy—a total game-changer!
My small wings are a reminder that small actions create real change.
What are you recycling today? Let me know below!

At The Excel Academy, keeping our students safe online is a priority. 📱✨
We are sharing this important resource, “Growing Up with Phones and Taking Photos,” to help families navigate digital safety. Many young people don’t realise that photos can automatically sync to cloud storage, risking privacy if accounts are compromised.
This is a sensitive but essential topic to discuss openly at home.
Please view the attached guide to help your child stay safe.
Let’s work together to protect our children online. 🤝💻
