Pupils are motivated to make a positive difference to the environment and their efforts have been recognised once again as Kibble’s secondary school has retained the Eco Schools Green Flag Award.
Throughout the year, pupils and staff work hard to consider the planet. The school strives to factor sustainability into lessons, fun activities and practical projects. We want to do what we can to make sure the world is a healthy place for people to grow-up in and not take for granted cleaner air, green open spaces and fresh water.
Action was taken to make our school a more environmentally friendly place to be and exceed the standards expected of an Eco School with the Green Flag Award. We are always on the lookout for opportunities to recycle, reuse and reduce waste.
Read on to discover some of the highlights from us making our school a more environmentally friendly place to be.
We’ve built a wormery to recycle food waste from the home economics classes and reduce the amount heading to landfill sites.
Christmas Fayre items were made from recycled materials by our talented pupils.
Pupils are learning to grow a whole range of tasty food including potatoes, blueberries and tomatoes. Our herb garden has sprouted with sage and lemon thyme.
Teachers are taking their first steps in bee-keeping and plans are underway for young people to learn about bee-keeping and producing honey. A social enterprise project can be set-up to sell the bee products.
The health and wellbeing of kids and adults has been thought of too with events for Mental Health Week, walking challenges and more.
Moving forward, we will continue with even more valuable projects and try to influence more people to join us in living more sustainably.
