To show their support, Pleckgate’s students have taken part in a competition to design a mug during their Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education lessons.

Five of the mug designs won a competition arranged by the hign school.

The mugs, as well as badges, are now available to buy. It costs £2.50 for mugs and £1.00 for badges.

The school also operates a reward system called IRIS. and pupils who have achieved 25 points can use them to buy the mugs online from the IRIS shop, or 10 points to buy badges.
