 We encourage the children to respect and care for the world around them. With this in mind we promote care of the school and school grounds. The children have plants and trees, they feed the birds in the bird garden and look after the pond and wild life area. They develop a respect for plants and animals and a desire to keep the environment safe.
The school is now taking part in an Eco-schools programme for promoting environmental awareness. The Eco schools process is holistic. It works by involving the whole school – pupils, teachers, support staff, governors and the local community. There are three different stages to achieving Eco-school status, with the highest being the Green Flag award. We first achieved this award in June 2004 and received our second Green Flag in May 2007. The projects undertaken covered the following areas: School grounds, waste management, transport issues, litter, energy, water and healthy living.
