Our Eco Code
'Marine Life and Plastics' - Our school pledge
As an Eco School and a seaside school we feel that it is very important to try our very best to take action on reducing the amount of single use plastic that is thrown away and ends up in our oceans. Did you know that it is estimated that each year at least 8 million tonnes of plastics leak into our oceans? This is the same as dumping one full bin lorry into the ocean every minute! This plastic often kills sea life and these facts have really shocked us and we want to take action! Therefore we have pledged to become a refill school and help reduce single use plastic water bottles. We have also stopped using plastic straws and other single use plastics. As always we continue with the 3 R's - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!
We are a Green Flag school! This is the highest award possible for a Primary School!
Our Newland and School grounds.
We just love getting out into our Newland and seeing how it changes throughout the different seasons and what different wildlife it has attracted. We keep a close eye on our pond and take note of the different pond life in it throughout the year. We love to look after our school grounds and keep a good eye on the weeds! The children in P2 love to learn all about nocturnal animals from Daniel and after watching video clips from a night time camera, they discovered what animals come to visit our Newland at night!
We also have a beautiful orchard with many fruit trees and bushes. Claire made blackberry jam from our own grown blackberries and it was delicious!
All of our classes take the opportunity to do Outdoor Learning in our fantastic Newland and school grounds. We feel incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to do so and this benefits the children greatly.
