Green Schools

Welcome to our Green Schools page! We are currently in the process of applying for our first Green Schools flag, under the theme of Litter and Waste. 

One of the 4 strands of our Ethical Education curriculum is Ethics and the Environment and we spend lots of time across all class levels learning about how to care for the environment.

Litter and Waste in our School

What is the difference between litter and waste?
How do we know what bin to put our waste in?
​
Emma answers some of these questions!

You could try sorting some of your waste at home during Environmental Awareness Fortnight!
Our Litter Picking Survey

We carried out a litter picking survey in Citywest ETNS with the help of John - thanks John!

We gathered data on the types of litter most common in our school. We need help from our students now to help us represent this data!

​Head over to the Litter and Waste Senior Section on the Padlet to find out more information on the Data Challenge!
