Community Action

Members of the school carry out community action on a regular basis, usually once a week. We visit old people's homes and have worked in the environment with The Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust, The National Trust at Chirk Castle and the Canal and River Trust at Aston lock. Our actions also involve undertaking gardening for a public park, producing posters for a company run by individuals with disabilities, and putting up displays and garden boxes in the town.
