Eco Schools
We are an Eco School!
Our Eco Warriors have been busy working hard to help our school to be as eco-friendly as possible. Take a look at all our activities below and don't forget to speak to your class Eco Warriors if you have any suggestions or ideas too. Everyone has a part to play and we can all work together as a team to care for our world.
Please remember to keep an eye on our Eco Board in school for all information about our up-coming activities.
OUR ECO CODE
We have created our St Anne's CE Primary School Eco Code which details our pledges for caring for our planet. Take a look to find out more.
OUR ACTION PLAN
After we carried out our Environmental Review, we have identified 3 Areas to work on during 2020-21. We are building on some of the work we started in 2019-20 and we have added some new areas based on our current need for the school. Please do let us know if there is anything you can do to support our work towards our Action Plan.
