Global Action

We are working hard on our Global Actions Plan for this year. If you would like to see what we have achieved so far, please follow the link: Global Climate Action Plan 2024-2025.

We're a Roots and Shoots school!

For several years, we have been working with Jane Goodall's 'Roots and Shoots' campaign to develop our outdoor area. Within this, we have worked hard on our outdoor area to make it a friendly and welcoming place for pupils and wildlife alike. We have built bird hides from old pallets, planted a willow shelter to relax and have some quiet time in our meadow area. We have weeded so that the wild grasses and flowers can flourish and this summer our meadow was a sea of butterflies and bees. We have improved our outdoor learning area by cutting back overhanging branches, erecting a canopy over the firepit and cutting back all the brambles and weeds. We have placed new logs for seating, cut steps up to the meadow area and added in some crafting tables & hand washing facilities.   

Our pond now has a thriving eco system full of newts, dragonflies, frogs, toads, damselflies, water boatman and pond skaters, plus lots more. We have also planted a micro wood which is growing well at the bottom of the field.  We also now have a newly planted hedgerow and a community orchard at the front of our school. In time, we hope the local community will be able to help themselves to some home grown fruit. 

Our hard work was recognised in 2023 when we won three awards at the 'Roots and Shoots' award ceremony held at the Barbican in London. Please click here to find out more! More recently, we have won another award - Outstanding Roots and Shoots commitment award 2025 which we are very proud of.
