About Family First – their aim is to improve the well-being of children and young adults across the UK. By promoting a happier and healthier family lifestyle, Family First has achieved remarkable success since its inception. This success has attracted the attention and support of esteemed organisations such as Public Health England’s Change4Life, Mumsnet, Argos, ASDA, Sainsbury’s and many more, as well as prominent sports entities and leading family brands in the UK. Through these partnerships, Family First has been able to expand its reach to even more parents, encouraging them to reduce screen time, engage in physical activities, and adopt healthier eating habits.
Sustainability Update
Eco warriors club pupils created a real buzz in the canteen when they hosted the first Villiers Clothes and Uniform Swap Shop on Wednesday 26th of March. Combatting fast fashion habits was the aim and the students succeeded in spreading the word while giving away bags of good quality used clothing and uniform to dozens of happy customers. The shop gave away over 70 items (16kg of clothes) to pupils – plus lots of free popcorn! Giving another life to used clothes rather than buying brand new has saved 150g of CO2 and a whopping 25,000 litres of water.
Remember: secondhand clothing tackles climate change, reduces pollution, saves water and saves you money, quadruple win! Please get in touch if you would like to help organise a school uniform sale soon. Leonpalmer@sustainabilitymanagersforschools.org

Villiers has been selected for the Tesco Stronger Starts Grant Competiton. Look out for it and VOTE at all the Tesco supermarkets in the area NOW! If we get the most votes, we will win £1500 to install a fantastic new rain planter box in the school grounds. In stores it will appear as: Villiers High School – Calming Rain Planter. We are seeking up to £1500 funding for a sustainable rain planter project that will host calming infusion plants for tea-making and stimulate the senses through sensory regulation. This initiative will include integrated seating and will be part of a calming garden designed specifically for the school. The rain planter project will benefit the school by:
- Promoting health and well-being through interaction with nature.
- Teaching students about sustainability and the benefits of growing food and pollution-reducing plants.
- Creating a habitat for insects and wildlife.
- Reducing localised flooding through sustainable design.
- Providing a calming space that supports the mental health of all students, particularly those with SEN.
