We have bought litter pickers and the eco-class regularly litter pick
We have a compost bin on the playground that is emptied into our compost bin every few days. WE use this compost on our garden each year.
We have created a wormery that we are eagerly watching as spring arrives.
We planted over 300 trees last year around the school border, put up bird boxes and a large bat box.
In our garded we have planted wildflowers for insects and this year we are establishing a small wildlife pond that has arrived but needs to be set up properly
