The eco-committee have made an action plan. Even if you are busy, we would still love it if you could help us because it is our school.
Find out more by reading it. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us.
Eco committee Action Plan 2008 – 2009
This is our action plan for 2008 – 2009. We think that the tasks below are important and we think that we will manage to start most of them this year, keep some of the activities going and to finish some during this school year. We will look at how we are getting on at the end of each term.
This list is not the only things that we will do this year, as we will take the opportunity to do more things within the school and within the community as we hear about them.
We will let everyone know how we are getting on by:
J keeping our blog up-to-date,
J telling the pupils important news at assembly,
J letting the Pupil Council and Parent Council know,
J posting our minutes at the front door, and
J producing a newsletter.

Transport –
Most of the pupils at our school get picked up in the school minibus, which we think is great as it cuts down on the number of cars being used. Some pupils cycle to school and we want to encourage this. We also want to encourage walking and we also want to keep an eye on the speed of the traffic passing our school, as we have just had the main road upgraded. But this will have to wait a little longer.

We have a fabulous area that is meant to be our garden, but it is a complete mess at the moment. We have asked for help and are waiting to hear back from parents. If we can even sort out a small part of the garden (although all of it would be good) then we would like to do the following projects:
