🌱 Positive Environmental Impact

Together, we have:

• Reduced carbon emissions by choosing plant-based meals and lowering heating.
• Saved energy through cooler washes and device-free days.
• Cut down on waste with thoughtful meal planning.
• Improved air quality by walking and cycling instead of driving.

These actions show how small changes can make a big difference for our planet. Thank you for supporting us with something that matters to our young people. 

On Wednesday, our Eco Council took to Priory Road to champion the importance of reducing carbon emissions. Armed with vibrant banners and posters, they shared their key message: switch engines off!

During the walk, the Eco Council proudly and enthusiastically cheered, “Cut your carbon, engines off!”—complete with musical accompaniment to create a lively, positive atmosphere. Their efforts paid off: they successfully encouraged six drivers to switch off their engines, applauding each one for helping to save carbon!

We are incredibly proud of their determination to make a real difference. The Eco Council is eager to keep this momentum going. Beyond November’s carbon initiative, they will continue monitoring idling cars with monthly spot checks along Priory Lane and Manor Lane.

Their goal is simple: to ensure all engines outside our school are switched off. Please support them in achieving this!

As Cut Your Carbon Month draws to a close, don’t forget to complete the survey sent via ParentMail. The class with the most responses will win a Forest School session—a truly rewarding prize!

Pupils at Lapal have taken part in Maths Week England 2025 which is a nationwide celebration of mathematics aimed at promoting a positive attitude towards the subject and making it fun and accessible for everyone. These activities have raised the profile of maths even more at our school, pupils have enjoyed the tasks and experienced the relevance of the subject in everyday life. Take a look at our photos of pupils completing mathematical challenges, problem-solving and figuring out puzzles!

We are delighted to share the wonderful news that Lapal Primary School has played an important role in supporting the Halesowen Poppy Appeal this year.

The counting of donations has now been completed, and we are proud to announce that our school raised an incredible £190.92!

This achievement reflects the generosity and kindness of our pupils, families, and staff, who came together to honour and remember those who have served. Every penny collected will help the Royal British Legion continue its vital work supporting veterans and their families.

Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make this possible. Your support truly makes a difference.
