Recycool recycling

The ICT department at Hill Top School have been recycling ink cartridges, toner cartridges and mobile phones through recycool. We have raised enough money to buy a digital camera and install an interactive whiteboard.
If you buy a new mobile phone for Christmas or at anytime of year, please send in your old one to school and include your battery and charger if you have it. We also accept recycled ink cartridges and toner cartridges. Recycool are a company which allows registered charities, like our PTFA to collect these items and then they pay us according to a fixed rate for each type of phone or cartridge.
We can arrange pick up of larger quantities of cartridge if you can donate to our school from your workplace.

Family ICT Matters

The family learning course was very enjoyable for staff and participants. We hope to work with the family learning team at Dryden Professional Centre to offer more courses in the future.
Parents, governors and carers might like to know that we have a display board in school celebrating their achievements!
