Eco and Sustainability
At Haslam Park Primary School, we are passionate about looking after our planet and making our school a greener, cleaner and more sustainable place. Our Eco & Sustainability Group helps pupils understand that small actions can make a big difference. We encourage everyone in our school community to think about how their choices affect the environment.
Our Eco & Sustainability Group is made up of pupils who are passionate about the environment and want to make a positive difference in our school and local community. They are a group of children from all year groups who are passionate about supporting our Eco-ordinator with school, local community.
The eco sustainability group work with Miss. Wallwork, Mr. Patel and Mrs. Ahmed on supporting the school. We work together to support the four key areas identified by the Department for Education:
Climate education and green skills
Biodiversity and nature
Climate adaptation and resilience
Reducing waste and working towards a more sustainable future.
Reduce, reuse and recycle – helping everyone in school to recycle correctly and reduce waste.
Look after our school environment – caring for our outdoor areas, plants and wildlife.
Support biodiversity – creating spaces where insects, birds and other wildlife can thrive.
Keep our school clean – taking part in litter picks and encouraging everyone to take pride in our surroundings.
Save energy and resources – reminding others to switch off lights, turn off taps and avoid wasting resources.
Raise awareness – sharing important messages about environmental issues through assemblies, posters, competitions and school events.
Lead eco-friendly projects – planning activities and challenges that encourage the whole school to make greener choices.
