One of our fantastic Year 6 Eco Ambassadors recently took the lead in delivering a brilliant presentation to our Key Stage 1 children about one of Britain's best-loved mammals, the humble hedgehog.

 Passionate about protecting wildlife, she shared how hedgehog numbers have sadly declined in recent years due to changes in our environment and modern living. She explained the challenges they face and, most importantly, the simple things we can all do to help them survive and thrive, from creating wildlife-friendly gardens to adding ‘hedgehog highways’ into fences, leaving space for them to roam.

It was a thoroughly engaging presentation that kept our younger pupils captivated throughout. The session ended with lots of thoughtful questions, showing just how much the children had learnt and how inspired they were to help our prickly friends.

We were incredibly proud to see our Eco Ambassador take such initiative, demonstrating outstanding leadership by sharing her knowledge with confidence, enthusiasm and maturity. She is a wonderful role model for our younger pupils and a fantastic advocate for caring for our natural world.

Well done, you did an amazing job.
