New Eco-School committee In September we set up a new committee. We have two representatives from each class. For the Early Years Unit we have two pupils from year 5 who report back to the pupils in the unit.

Environmental audit review We completed an audit review. We compared last years review with this years review to see what progress has been made.

We drew up an action plan To see what we need to do this year. To try to do as much as we can to improve the school.

Litter and healthy eating. Year 6 pupils to sell fruit – to raise funds and to promote healthy living. We completed fruit surveys to see what fruit was wanted. Every week pupils to complete a litter survey to look at how much rubbish is the yard and if it reduces over the term.

Recycle white paper Eco-committee and whole school will recycle white paper. Recycle trays in each class and a recycle container in the yard. No cost to school as the company will pay for weight of paper. Eco-committee to survey the amount of paper recycled.

Save energy-turn off taps and lights Eco committee and whole school initiative. Poster campaign and competition in second half of Spring term. Meter reading and monitoring during Spring term with the help of Mr. Ryland.

Save energy installation of hippos Hippos installed in all toilets – completed by Summer term. No cost as saving on water bills. Monitoring the water meter in Spring and Summer terms.

Save energy installation of a wind turbine Install wind turbine. We are still looking into the chance of a wind turbine. We have a £500 grant but need to still look into further costs and planning permission.

composting Gardening club is set up. We need to continue with this during Summer term. Bins already being used in the yard. We need to appoint monitors to ensure that all fruit waste is being recycled.

School Environment planters Continue to build on planters from previous year during Summer term.
