Green Schools
To date we have achieved 9 green school flags. We are one of 21 schools across the counrty selected to take part in the latest green schools programme- Climate Ambassadors. Over the last two years our school are piloting the Climate Ambassadors Project. There are lots of opportunities for the whole school to take part in. We are currently following a number of challenges themed aroung waste, energy, water, transport and biodiversity. As we work our way through the project we are acquiring carbon credits as we go.
We have just secured our ninth Green Flag:
Global Citizenship, Food and Bio diversity.
We pride ourselves on being a Green School and we have been awarded nine green flags to date. Our school community were delighted to receive the flag- Global Citizenship, Food and Biodiversity. Classes throughout the school have been planting fruit and vegetables over the last two years. Some vegetables have been planted indoors ready for outdoor planting in late spring. The Green School's committee are an integral part of the process in working towards the flag guided by the Green School's co-ordinator. The Green Commitee have been busy collecting and graphing data on Food and Biodiversity. The committee conducted a slogan competition open to pupils from 3rd to 6th. Our pupils have undertaken extensive project work in the area of Protecting Pollinators.
Our Green Schools committee meet on a monthly basis and is normally made up of pupils from 3rd to 6th class.
This year and last year the committee consists of the pupils in sixth class. Over the last two years the committee has increased the number of raised beds in the school and has taken a great interest in planting fruit, vegetables and creating a wild flower garden. The pupils have sampled their own produce in soup an other recipes.
Our Green Schools Slogan:
The slugs and the worms help our food grow we need biodiversity to help our food chain flow.
