Eco-Schools is the largest sustainable schools programme in the world and is operated internationally by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). It connects 15 million children, young people and educators through sustainable development education and is the biggest learning network in the world.

Eco-Schools is an international initiative designed to encourage whole-school community action on Learning for Sustainability. It is an environmental management tool, a learning resource and a recognised award scheme which empowers children and young people to take action towards an economically, socially and environmentally just world.

Over the last two sessions some of our pupils have been working on the Eco Schools initiative with a view to gaining the Eco Schools Bronze Award. Part of their work has involved them in conducting a detailed environmental review of the campus which will be helpful in making the campus even more eco-friendly than it is at present. The result of the pupils’ hard work is that we are now able to apply for the Bronze Award – watch this space for updates!
