Green Day - Friday 15th July. Mr Ian James signed an agreement with Cardiff City Council to have our food waste collected from school on a weekly basis. We have been thinking about our environment and remembering to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle as we clear our classrooms at the end of term. Thank you for returning your blue bags and don’t forget you can send your used batteries into school for recycling.

What is Eco-Schools?

The Eco-Schools programme is an international initiative that encourages pupils to engage with environmental and sustainable development issues. It provides a highly structured system for the environmental management of schools.

What categories does it cover?

The programme is a learning resource and topic areas include Litter, Waste Minimisation, Transport, Healthy Living, Energy, Water, School Grounds and Global Citizenship.

How are the children involved?

Pupils take key roles in decision making and participation in order to reduce the environmental impact of their school. In this way, Eco-Schools extends learning beyond the classroom and develops responsible citizenship attitudes both at home and in the wider community.

How is the programme funded?

The Eco-Schools Programme is funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, the Countryside Council for Wales and Waste Awareness Wales.
