In order to best support our children and encourage them to become the best global citizens they can possibly be, Mrs Lyle has arranged for there to be a sustainability focus for each half term; something for the children to work on in school and hopefully at home too! 

So far...

Autumn 1 - Food Wastage - Mrs Lyle has been weighing the bin bag in the lunch hall at the end of each lunch session and has been collating the data; this was shared in an assembly at the end of September! We have decided as a school that this is something we want to continue to focus on. Often changing one's habits can take time, and the Eco Warriors are dedicated and passionate that collectively, we can continue to improve in this area even more! 

January 2025 update - 

We have done so well to reduce food wastage in school! Through dedication, consideration and a new and improved school lunch menu, we have managed to reduce food wastage from an average of 7.8 kg each day to 4.2 kg! This is really wonderful and demonstrates what eco-minded young citizens we have in our wonderful school. Keep up the fantastic work!

Autumn 2 - We will be working on reducing our carbon imprint as part of the Eco Schools, month-long carbon-cutting challenge for the month of November. Keep your eyes peeled for more information on this coming soon! 

January 2025 update - 

We have done well to reduce our carbon footprint in some small but mighty ways. I am really proud to show off part of our new and improved school lunch menu which contains a whopping 16 vegetarian or vegan options! Think about the positive impact that reduction in meat options will be having on our planet. Imagine if every school could do something similar?! 

Spring 1 - We are focusing on litter picking and recycling this half term. Mrs Lyle's introductory assembly encouraged us to help out with recycling correctly at home, mentioned the new system of recycling bins that we are getting at school, new for this month (including a food waste bin...hooray!) as well as how we can encourage our grown ups to visit our local recycling centre to dispose of our recycling and other household waste properly. For every family that visits the recycling centre, they will receive a certificate, designed by the Eco Warriors as a thank you for committing to fighting against climate change. As well as this, we have a new set of litter pickers that our Eco Warriors and other children are using each play time and lunch time to collect the rubbish that blows in, on and around our playground and the fact that the bags and buckets are full by the end of each week is quite astounding! Please do continue to work as a community with this; as well as being an eye-sore, litter and pieces of rubbish are so detrimental to local wildlife.
