Reaching Potential

ECO and Sustainability

We have a very active ECO committee of 12 pupils.  Miss Galloway chairs our ECO committee and leads on ECO in school.

The ECO committee successfully achieved (again) our School ECO status accreditation.

Planning a children’s party?

Then please consider renting our ‘Party Box’ and help to reduce single-use plastic waste in Dronfield.  The Party Box has already had some ‘outings’ during the Summer, which is great to see.  The box contains 36 children’s beakers, plates, bowls, sets of cutlery, plus two juice jugs and five larger bowls for crisps, etc.  The cost of rental is only £3, though we also ask for a bond of £20 which is returned to you once the box and its contents are brought back to school clean and intact.  Through this scheme we hope to offer our families a greener and more economical way to party!  For further details, please contact the school office.

Let's Go Zero

Let's Go Zero

As a school, we have signed up Let's Go Zero.  We are looking to create an action plan to make net zero achievable.  The Let’s Go Zero Campaign are helping us lower our school’s emissions, identify greener journeys to and from school, and cut energy, waste and water bills amongst other things.

Travel Smart Week

Our last Travel Smart Week was the week commencing 20th May 2024. We encouraged our pupils to walk, bike, scoot or car share to school in order to have a positive impact on both mental health and the environment. Each child's class teacher asked pupils each day how they travelled to school.

Travel Smart,
The Eco Committee! 🚙♻
