Our Eco code runs alongside our school curriculum and helps to teach children ways to care for ourselves, our environment and promote sustainable living.

Our Eco code is an acronym of ERIC’s, one of the toy eagles we award to the class who have shown how well they have followed the Eco code:

Each week in school the Eco warriors check classrooms to ensure waste is being recycled properly, lights are off, and we do not have any dripping taps.  They also check how many children travel to school by bike or scooter and bring healthy, unpackaged snacks to school.

Each year our Eco focus builds on previous achievements and areas for development.  For example during Covid we were aware that there may be children who were not able to be as active.  We have now added ‘exercise’ to our Eco code to raise the profile.

We take part in national competitions, such as ‘The Big Walk and Wheel’ where families are encouraged to walk or cycle to school.  We also link Eco to other areas of the curriculum, such as PSHE ‘5 ways to Well-being’ where we promote ‘being active’ and how this impacts our mental health.

If you would like any further information about our Eco code please contact Ms Porter via the school office.
