Annually, the children and staff at Lighthorne Heath Primary School work hard towards achieving the Eco Schools and Green Flag award in recognition of our work on improving the school environment.
The Eco-committee, led by Mrs. Cox, have worked really hard on writing an action plan to help improve the school and local environments. The plan focuses on 10 areas; Biodiversity, Energy, Global Citizenship, Healthy Living, Litter, Marine, Transport, School Grounds, Waste and Water.
Our pupil Eco Reps meet regularly to share ideas on how to improve the school environment and maintain our eco-code.
The Eco-committee have lead a litter-pick around the school grounds, where they worked really hard and found a box of things that could be dangerous to wildlife.
They also recently set up a competition to raise awareness of littering, and to encourage people to put their rubbish in a bin (or take it home if there is not a bin around). The winning entry will be proudly displayed on our Eco-Board and in the newsletter for everyone to admire.
Thank you to the Eco Committee for helping to improve our environment! Mrs. Cox
