Eco-School Action Plan Sept 2025

Term 4 2025/2026

Following a suggestion from a child in Year 2, we are now pleased to announce that we will be participating in the ‘Great Big School Clean’. This is the nation’s biggest mass action campaign, which takes part between 13^th – 29^th March. Last year, more than 265,000 pupils took part through their schools, and many other young people took part through events in their local communities. As a school, we have pledged to collect at least 5 bags of rubbish across our school site. The children will be provided with litter pickers and other equipment needed to reach this goal. You can get involved too within your community by taking part in the ‘Great British Spring Clean’ across the same dates. This campaign has seen more than 400,000 volunteers clearing litter from our streets, parks and beaches in previous years. You can pledge as an individual or as part of a group by visiting the website below. How many bags will you pledge to fill to show that you ‘Love Where You Live’?

Term 3 2025/2026

This term, we have calculated our school’s carbon footprint using Count Your Carbon. The results are shown below. Some calculations were based on estimates or averages as specific data in some areas was unavailable at the time of completion. Looking to the future, we will now use this data to begin building a Carbon Reduction Plan which will outline a series of actions that we intend to implement over the next 1-3 years in order to reduce our carbon footprint.

Term 2 2025/2026

We are looking forward to another exciting year. We have appointed our Eco Committee across the three classes in KS1 and they have been busy meeting with one another. Their first job was to carry out this year's Environmental Review with their classes. This is a simple but powerful set of questions designed to discover how well environmental action is woven into our curriculum and daily life. Each question is grouped into sections that link directly to the 10 Eco-Schools topics (Biodiversity, Energy, Global Citizenship, Healthy Living, Litter, Marine, School Grounds, Transport, Waste and Water), making it easy to see where our strengths lie — and where we can grow! The Eco-Committee chose which areas needed the most development and have created an Action Plan for the year which you can view above.
