Eco-Schools Action Team

The Government in England wants every school to be a sustainable school by 2020.  Eco-Schools is an international award programme that guides schools on their sustainable journey. 

Children are the driving force behind Eco-Schools – they lead the eco-committee and help carry out an audit to assess the environmental performance of their school. Through consultation with the rest of the school and the wider community it is the pupils that decide which environmental themes they want to address and how they are going to do it. Measuring and monitoring is an integral part of the Eco-Schools programme, providing schools with all the evidence they need to really shout about their environmental success.  

Schools work towards gaining one of three awards – Bronze, Silver and the prestigious Green Flag award, which symbolises excellence in the field of environmental activity.  

We are aiming to achieve a Bronze Award!

We are taking our first steps towards becoming an Eco-School. We are aiming to achieve a Bronze Award by the end of July. Watch this space for updates on our progress and actions we're taking to make improvements towards being and Eco-School.
