This included; planting 40 trees across our site to clean our air locally, and be a carbon sink to help tackle climate change. We also put up 20 bird houses, owl boxes, bat boxes and hedgehog huts to increase biodiversity across our large and beautiful grounds. We also recognised the large amount of waste that the school creates, particularly the packaging of lunch and drink bottles, so we worked with estates to change our waste provider, and set up a recycling system across the school, turning all those plastic bottles into useful things like park benches. 

This year we are continuing to make our school a better place for nature, and kinder to our environment. This term we have been looking at how to tackle litter across our site, and hope to work with the council to clean up Horsbere Brooke.

If you are interested in the environment, and want to work to make your community a better place to be, come and join the Eco-Council on Wednesdays.
