Green Schools

Welcome to our Green Schools page. We are currently working on the Biodiversity theme. Biodiversity is all about plants and animals.

Our ultimate aim is to make students, parents and teachers aware of the importance of Biodiversity in our world.

Biodiversity is so important that 2011-2020 has been declared the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity. Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General of the United Nations, has this to say:

"Biodiversity underpins the functioning of the ecosystems on which we depend for food and fresh water, health and recreation, and protection from natural disasters. Its loss also affects us culturally and spiritually. This may be more difficult to quantify, but it is nonetheless integral to our wellbeing".

You might like to have a look at our Action Plan below and follow our progress as we work through the Green Schools Biodiversity programme:

Target 1: To ensure that the whole school is fully aware of the Green-Schools Biodiversity programme and to encourage their participation in the programme

Target 2: To ensure that the pupils and staff in our school learn about the plants and animals in our area

Target 3: To introduce more plants and animals to our school grounds

Target 4: To make the members of our wider community aware of the importance of Biodiversity in our area
