At Edleston Primary School are committed to the environment and try our best to care for our school. It is for this reason we have formed an Eco-Committee made up of pupils and a teacher. We have worked very hard to produce an Eco-code, an audit of the site and an action plan on how we can improve our school and the environment. We have regular meetings to discuss issues and certain year groups have done a lot of work on the environment during their PSHE lessons. Eco school also links to our other curriculum areas such as Science and Geography lessons. It also helps us to embrace our school value of ‘Responsibility’.

What is an Eco- School?
• Being an eco-school means caring for the whole world environment as well as the school environment:- “Thinking globally - acting locally’’
• An eco-school runs projects which can help the school and local environment.

Why is it necessary?
• We all need to contribute to looking after the environment.
• Everyone doing a small bit eventually adds up to a major difference.
• We need to raise environmental awareness in others.
