Eco Committee
Here are the members of our Eco Committee who are passionate about our environment and helping secure our planet's future.
Celebrating Sir David Attenborough's 100 Birthday
We made a human 100 that could be photographed from the sky to celebrate the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough.
Help Us to Bloom and Grow
Our latest idea is to ask families for donations of spring bulbs, so we can plant areas in our school which will blossom in the spring time and fill our grounds with colour.
Watch this space to see how this grows!
Eco School
We were awarded our Platinum Flag in summer 2024. This amazing accolade verifies the school's ongoing commitment to environmental issues and care for our world and environment.
Our Eco-Committee meet regularly to review actions and to ensure all pupils are informed of important issues and events.
Circular Economy
As part of our ongoing promotion of eco matters, we fully support the efforts being made to support a 'circular economy' whihc means trying to make use of things once they have been used for a first time.
Monmouth Repair Café Monmouth holds monthly events every third Sunday of the month where volunteers fix household items for free in order to reduce waste, teach skills and bring the community together. At these events, volunteers repairs items such as toasters, kettles, vacuum cleaners, jeans, bags, shirts, toys, ornaments and bikes. There is also tea and snacks!

A Library of Things
Benthyg (pronounced ben-thig) is a Welsh word meaning borrow or lend. The aim of a library of things is to allow people to borrow things they need but don't own, at low cost, saving money and space in their homes. There are a range of DIY and garden tools, household appliances, camping equipment, entertaining equipment and more.
You can also donate things they own but don't need, contributing to national waste reduction targets and meet to share knowledge and skills with each other, increasing community resilience .

Global Goals
The Global Goals are a set of 17 goals that are all interlinked. They were designed as a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all".
As a school we want our pupils to be ethical informed citizens of the world, who show their commitment to the sustainability of the planet.
