Map of the schools grounds

 

The school has a community garden, with a planter box for every class. During spring all pupils will have the opportunity to plant and grow their own plant, flowers and vegetables. The school also allow pupils to eat their snacks inside, so there is no litter in the playgrounds, time is allocated each day for snacks. There are a lot of recycling bins around the school. There are bins for general waste, paper and food waste within the lunch hall.

The playground of the school is quite big, the playground has two trim tracks that is timetabled so each class has allocated times to play on it. They also have a grass area and an area where they can play football with football goals. The play areas are split into two sections, with p1-3 at the front of the school and p4-7 at the rear of the school.

After having a discussion with some of the pupils in primary 5, they all enjoy different aspects of sustainable learning. They enjoy that it is other adults and professionals that lead the learning rather than it always being their teacher. Pupils enjoyed their food to fork topic the previous year where they got to learn about the processes of food. This included looking at farming and agriculture, the processes supermarkets use to produce types of food and looking at how eco-friendly the methods are.
