At Green Lanes, we take looking after our school, local community and planet seriously. We enjoy it and have a dedicated team of KS2 children, teachers and helpers who meet regularly and put their own ideas into action.

At Green Lanes we celebrate the things that we, as a school, already do to help our school, community and planet and highlight what we can start doing or do even better.

Our biggest aim is to become an accredited Eco-school!

So, what do we do really well?

• We think that we keep our school litter free, clean and tidy
• We use paper in any way we can so that we reduce the amount of paper we are throwing away. Teachers even print on both sides of the paper!
• We try to turn the lights off when leaving a room when no one else is using it to save electricity
• We walk to school when possible and record this using travel tracker
• We have designed our own eco-code for all to see and use

What can we do better?

• Remember to turn the computers, iPads and interactive screens off in the classrooms at break and lunch times to save even more energy
• We can close doors and always turn taps off to save energy and water
• We can recycle
• We can reuse
• We can create habitats for wildlife to live in within our school grounds
• We can care and look after nature within our school grounds
• We can use nature in our school grounds to learn from
