As an Eco School we:

Turn off lights, sockets and electrics when not in use
Put all our rubbish in the bin and follow a class litter rota to ensure we all play our part in keeping our school litter free
Reduce, re-use and recycle our waste in our classrooms and lunch hall
Try hard to eat all our food to reduce our food waste
Reduce water usage by turning off taps
Are conscious of paper use and use both sides of the paper
Make use of scrap paper and recycle all our scraps via recycling bins
Care about improving our playground and making it safe, clean and pleasant on the eye
Learn about how our actions can impact the environment through our school work
Consider sustainability in all we do
