Targets for 2025-26
Our Eco Targets for This Year
- Biodiversity
We aim to protect and enhance the variety of plant and animal life in our school environment by creating habitats that support local wildlife. - Energy
We are committed to reducing our energy consumption by using resources more efficiently and promoting sustainable practices across the school. - Water
We will work to conserve water by encouraging careful usage and implementing strategies that reduce waste throughout the school.
Cash for Cans
Our school’s Eco Committee is excited to participate in the ‘Cash for Cans’ initiative to reduce waste and raise funds for our school! We will be collecting cans and plastic bottles exclusively.
You can contribute by bringing your recyclable cans and plastic bottles to school. We’ve placed green bins at the play park gates for easy drop-off. Your support in this initiative is greatly appreciated. Together, we can make a positive impact on our environment and school!
Edina Trust
Our P4 class and ECO committee have teamed up with the Edina Trust bulb project. As part of our school target, to improve biodiversity in our school, we decided to plant a range of bulbs and monitor how their growing conditions.
Harvesting Vegetables
Our ECO Committee were hard at work in the school vegetable garden harvesting all the vegetables that were planted last year. Many thanks to Mr Rory Moynagh for his help and support in this initiative.

BIG SCHOOL BIRD WATCH FEBRUARY 2021
Every year in school the Eco Committee take part in the ‘Big School Bird Watch’ and then submit their results to the RSPB. This year is a little bit different because the children weren’t in school the last week of January to complete this activity.
So we decided to set the Big School Bird Watch as one of our weekly challenges for home learning! We were delighted with all our entries! Well done to everyone who got involved.
