Over the weekend, 28 pupils and staff from Kingswood School headed over to Porthcawl to help play their small part in the preservation of our wonderful natural world by taking part in a beach clean.
In gratitude for their efforts, Mother Nature provided clear skies and beautiful conditions in which to work.
Combing the tide line for plastics, cans and other man made waste, the group unfortunately returned with full bin liners.
The rubbish spotted and collected on the beach was of a much smaller scale than expected and micro-plastics were to be found in great number amongst the sand and debris. These pose an ever-increasing threat to the wildlife and natural beauty of the area.
The afternoon culminated in some games of rounders and beach football which was enjoyed by all.
