Children at a school in Bicester were educated on climate change through a series of talks and performances.

St Edburg’s School launched its climate change week with a collective workshop which included a message from children’s author Loll Kirby, who later led an online session.

The pupils were also visited by Jo Miskin, climate action manager at Cherwell council, and watched the Arty-Fact Theatre Company perform a show called ‘calamity climate change’.
