Welcome to our Eco School page

This year our school has made the decision to work towards Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation, you can find out more on the Eco-Schools website here: https://www.eco-schools.org.uk/

With the world beginning to experience the effects of climate change; different species of plant and animals becoming extinct every day; and micro-plastics being found in the most remote locations on Earth - now, is the time to educate future generations about the impact of our actions on the planet we call home.

The Eco-Schools programme does this through providing a simple seven-step framework that has been designed to raise awareness of environmental issues whilst empowering young people to make a positive difference by taking a lead on environmental actions and projects in their school and local community.

Within Eco-Schools’ simple framework young people have the freedom to decide on the environmental issues they would like to tackle, represented by ten Eco-Schools topics. Once young people have chosen their topics, they decide what actions they would like to take and how they are going to involve their school and community. The seven step process takes around one academic year to complete and culminates in an Eco-Schools’ assessor looking over a school’s application and evidence, with a view to recognising and celebrating their achievements.

🌍 Eco Leaders Make a Difference in Our Community! 🌿

22nd May 2025

This week, our dedicated team of Eco Leaders took to the streets of our local area for a community litter pick—and what a difference they made!

Armed with gloves, litter pickers, and a strong sense of purpose, the group spent time on Thursday morning collecting rubbish from the pavements and the wooded area near our school. Their mission? To help keep our environment clean, safe, and beautiful for everyone.

The impact was immediate. Passers-by smiled and waved, and one local resident walking her dog stopped to say, "Thank you for making it look better when I’m on my dog walk." Her kind words were a lovely reminder of how small actions can have a big impact on others.

The Eco Leaders not only helped tidy up our surroundings but also set a shining example of environmental responsibility. Their efforts remind us all that taking care of our planet starts right here in our own neighbourhood.

Well done to the Eco leaders—you’ve made our school and community proud!

A VISIT FROM ANDY HADLEY

April 2025

Our Eco leaders were lucky enough to have a visit from BCP councillor, Andy Hadley. Andy is based in Poole and is passionate about our environment. Whilst Andy was with us, we spoke about recycling our rubbish and thought about where our food rubbish goes when we’ve finished with it. Our Eco leaders decided that the recycling posters around the school needed updating so they will be designing some new posters in the coming weeks. We had the opportunity to share our school route audit and walk to school progress with Andy, who was very pleased to see that we were top of the active travel charts in BCP for March.

Andy was very complementary of the work our Eco leaders are doing and encouraged them to continue their great work.
