We are a registered member of Eco Schools which is a global network of thousands of like-minded schools.
Our Aims
As an Eco School, we have 2 key aims:
– Educate the children about the impact of our actions on the environment so that they can make positive decisions now and in the future
– Empower them to know that they can make a difference and become change makers for an environmentally sustainable world through influencing the actions of others as well as what they do themselves
Our Awards
Last year, we achieved the Bronze Award as recognition of our actions as a school.
Our Eco Committee
Our activities are shaped by our Eco Schools Committee. This is a group of children drawn from each year group at Burton Green who come together to discuss eco issues and how our school can play a part.
We decided that our focus topics for this year are:
- Waste
- Energy
- Water
Some activities that we have organised include:
- Taking part in Switch Off Fortnight to raise awareness about wasting energy
- A class competition to make something using recycled materials
- Implementing changes within our school to reduce food waste and encourage composting.
