🌍 Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David Attenborough! 🐢
Today, Alpha Academies Trust joins the world in celebrating a true global icon and living legend. Reaching this incredible 100-year milestone, Sir David continues to inspire our students and staff alike with his boundless passion for the natural world.
For decades, his iconic voice has brought the wonders of our planet into our classrooms and homes, teaching us a vital lesson: it is our shared responsibility to protect the Earth. 🌿
At 100, his legacy is more than just history—it is a call to action for the next generation of scientists, explorers, and conservationists.
Join us in wishing Sir David a very happy birthday! Here’s to a century of wonder and many more years of inspiration. ✨

Hi everyone, Milo here!
I’ve been fluttering around the offices and classrooms lately, and I’ve noticed a lot of paper flying about! While I love a good doodle, did you know that reducing printing is one of the easiest ways we can protect our planet? 🌍
At Alpha Academies Trust, we’ve set ourselves a big challenge: we are committed to reducing our printing by 15% this year! 📉✨
Ready to help us hit our goal? Here’s how you can be a sustainability hero this week:
- Think before you click: Ask yourself, "Do I really need a physical copy, or will the digital version do?" 🤔
- Double up: If you absolutely must print, always go for double-sided to cut your paper use in half! 📄
- Proofread first: Check those typos on screen so you don't have to print a second (or third!) corrected version. ✅
Every sheet saved keeps our world a little greener. My small wings are a constant reminder that even tiny changes lead to a massive impact! 💚
What’s your top tip for going paperless? Let me know in the comments below! 👇
