Eco School

At All Saints Nursery we are constantly looking for ways to be environmentally friendly.

Being eco-friendly or environmentally friendly is becoming more and more important, due to problems like global warming. We are committed to having an eco-friendly nursery to do our part in reducing our carbon footprint.

We are an Eco School and have a Climate Action Plan in place.

Eco Activities

Eco activities include litter picks, recycling and planting flowers. Environmental education is also made accessible and engaging through a range of curriculum links, for example looking at global issues in Early Years topics such as ‘Understanding the World’.

Forest School also offers a wide variety of opportunities for all kinds of Eco activities as pupils spend time outdoors and learn to appreciate the wonders of the natural world.
