Mapping of school grounds/area

Evidence of existing engagement with sustainable education within the school such as garden area, recycling bins, litter picking ‘wardens’, bird boxes, and so on.

Waste paper bins were observed in each classroom, as well as waste and recycling bins in the cafeteria and playground. An eco-group exists in the school to promote sustainability and automatic taps are used within bathrooms to avoid water wastage. Care is also taken to ensure responsible energy use through switching off lights, laptops, projectors, and computers when not in use.

Consideration of actual play space for children and its sustainability.

There is an outdoor playground which includes tarmac and grass areas for use during recreation and physical education. The school do not currently have students as litter picking wardens, however this is pursued by the school’s janitors.

Discussion with children on these aspects of sustainable education.

Children found the different types of bins useful in the playground and cafeteria, although would like to see a wider variety of bins, eg. plastic. They thoroughly enjoyed engaging in designing recycling bins but would like to see students actively taking on the role of litter picking duty.
