Eco School

In June 2017 we were awarded Green Flag status. The children worked on 9 topics over 4 years to achieve this award. These are:

  • Energy
  • Water
  • Biodiversity
  • School Grounds
  • Healthy Living
  • Transport
  • Litter
  • Waste
  • Global Citizenshop

The eco work was led by a group of children called the eco-committee which evolved over the years from past and present pupils. After completing bronze and silver awards, which are self assessed the children worked towards their ‘Green Flag’ assessment which meant focusing on 3 main areas. These were Transport, School Grounds and Healthy Living.

We have been involved in many campaigns and had many visitors from various organisations supporting green issues. Our eco work has provided rich learning opportunities and enhanced all aspects of the curriculum.

You can view our Eco Action Plan.
