The Eco and Green Group

This group's work is to discuss and decide on 'Green' matters and Sustainability and how the school as a community contributes to being Eco-friendly.

​

RECYCLE

• We recycle paper, card, small plastic milk bottles, pieces of plastic and anything that can be recycled

• We promote recycling as a school.

• We recycle food waste at playtime and at lunch time.

​

RE-USE

• We re-use scrap paper.

• We welcome used and old unwanted school uniform that children have out-grown.

• We welcome old un-used PE clothes that are no longer used (T-shirts and shorts). These will be available for use by children who forget their PE kits - so that no-one misses out.

• We promote that the local community recylces old unwanted clothes etc by filling the TYDDYN MON Clothes Bank on site. This is filled often and we are amongst Tyddyn Mon's most used recycling points.

​

REDUCE

• We're keen to cut down on energy use by switching things off before leaving rooms.

• The lighting system installed senses movement and switches off after a while.

• The clssrooms ceiling has been lowered to improve the lighting and to concerve warmth.

• The school's heating is set on timers and new more efficient boliers have been installed.

• Temperature sensors are located in classrooms that sense whether or not the heaters need to work or not.

• Hand dryers are installed to lessen our use of paper towels.

• Some members of staff share lifts to and from school.

• If possible, we share buses with other schools to attend local activities.
