How eco schools can help schools
The programme has been designed to benefit the school by:
- enhancing the curriculum
- linking to the local community
- saving money through improved efficiency
- providing a structure to pupils and staff to work together to make a difference to the school
- giving age-appropriate responsibility to pupils
Schools carry out an annual environmental review. The review helps them set their actions for the year ahead so that they can continue to make improvements.
