What is Eco Schools?
Eco Schools is much more that an environmental management system for schools. It is a programme for promoting environmental awareness in a way that links to most, if not all, curriculum subjects. In particular, many cross-curricular issues such as citizenship, education for sustainable development, PSE, health education, social and environmental justice and the global dimension can be tackled through involvement in Eco Schools. It is also an accredited award scheme that will raise the profile of your school in the wider community.
The Eco Schools process is holistic. It works by involving the whole school - pupils, teachers and other staff, together with members of the local community - parents, the local authority, the media and local businesses. It will encourage teamwork and help create a shared understanding of what it takes to run a school in a way that respects and enhances the environment. We hope that you will find the process of becoming an Eco School challenging, thought-provoking and exciting.
