With the Government removing the winter fuel payment  for 10 million pensioners and some who received the benefit having to pay it back, a school in County Durham thought it would join in with the state-sanctioned misery-by-freezing programme by holding a “Blue Nose Day.”

In a bid to reduce its “carbon footprint,” Wolsingham School planned to turn the heating off for a whole day this week.  Yesterday, according to My London, the school said the event would no longer go ahead as planned after “speaking to several parents regarding their concerns.”  The Daily Mail reported that the school was forced to ditch its plans following a wave of criticism.  And The Northern Echo reported that the Blue Nose Day at Wolsingham School was cancelled after outrage.

The climate alarmists haven’t given up completely though, they intend to make a comeback.  The “Climate Action Team” is now planning for the Blue Nose Day event to go ahead in the summer term next year when temperatures will be warmer than the daytime low of 7^oC predicted for Friday.

Yesterday morning Charlotte, The Baroness tweeted a message from Wolsingham School that was sent to parents stating that on Friday 18 October, the school will be taking part in a “blue nose day.”  In mid-afternoon, she tweeted a message from the school that Blue Nose Day had been cancelled … for now.

According to The Northern Echo, the initial email was sent to parents by Mr. Heath, a geography teacher. But the idea for Blue Nose Day is thought to have been thought up by students as a way to reduce the school’s carbon footprint and “raise the importance of being more sustainable,” the Express said.  

If that is the case, questions must be asked about the level of propaganda and psychological manipulation children are being subjected to during school hours.  We also have to ask why a school has a “Climate Action Team” and how it is that the UN’s Agenda 2030 “sustainability” programme has been allowed to entrench itself in schools that are supposed to be supporting the development of young minds rather than indoctrinating them.

It’s not necessary to state the obvious, but we will.  Had the school succeeded in their plan to turn the heating off for the day and children were not permitted to wrap up warm, as the email instructed, there could have conceivably been an outbreak of seasonal colds or flu – which, if the last few years are anything to go by, would have been labelled as a covid outbreak, for example, and used to push unsafe and ineffective vaccines onto the population at large.

The follow-up email to abandon Friday’s plan was sent by Headteacher Nick Mitchingham.

Below we have copied both messages as tweeted by Charlotte, The Baroness.  At the end, we have attached copies of the images of both emails.

From Wolsingham School

Dear parent/carer,

On Friday 18^th October 2024 [sic] our school will be taking part in a blue nose day. This will entail the heating being turned off throughout the school day to conserve energy. We are doing this to help reduce our schools [sic] carbon footprint and raise the importance of being more sustainable.

On the 18^th October [sic], students should maintain the exact uniform standards as usual, but we are recommending that they wear a black v neck [sic] jumper (if you already have one) or any non-visible layers under their uniform (skins, vest, plain white t-shirt, extra thick socks) [sic]

Please note hoodies will not be permitted and blazers should be worn.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns.

Kind regards,

Mr Heath

From Wolsingham School

Dear parent/carer,

As you will be aware the students involved in the Climate Action Team have been planning a Blue Nose Day for this Friday 18th October 2024 [sic].

The event was designed to raise the importance in our school community of being more sustainable and in a small way reduce the schools [sic] carbon footprint. The date was carefully chosen by looking at average temperatures by month and short-term weather forecasts, indicating a temperature in Wolsingham of approx. 15C on Friday.

After careful consideration and speaking to several parents regarding their concerns, the Blue Nose Day scheduled for Friday 18 October 2024 will now not go ahead as planned. School will be open as usual with staff and students not needing to wear extra layers of clothing and with the heating switched on as on a normal school day.

Students in the Climate Action Team have already played a key part in making Wolsingham school [sic] more sustainable in other ways over the last few academic years.

This includes the installation of filtered water coolers, meaning the amount of single use [sic] plastic, from water bottles, has been reduced to extremely close to zero.

The Climate Action Team will now plan for the day to occur in the Summer term 2025 and will communicate with parents/carers leading up to it with details of the event.

Kind regards

Wolsingham School
