The Eco Squad meet during breaks and lunchtimes throughout the week and help by improving our school grounds.

One of their many jobs is to keep areas tidy. Another is to keep all in school aware of green issues and caring for not only the school environment but to show others that everywhere is important.

The weather may be far too cold and wet for gardening at the moment but Eco Squad are planning for the year ahead. Thinking about the types of fruits and vegetables we want to grow, designing the growing beds and preparing the equipment we need etc.

It's this time of year we’d also ask for any donations of unwanted seeds, pots, canes, trays etc. that you might have cluttering up your shed or greenhouse. So if you’re having a clear out please consider Eco Squad!
