ECO Flag     

We achieved our ECO Flag in 2006 and are now working towards our second flag.  All the school is involved making our school an ECO school.  Our ECO committee (pupils, parents and staff) work hard to  keep our school improving with new ideas and current Eco thinking.  There are recycling facilities near to the staff car park and the school receive money for recycling (per tonne).

 

    Forest School 

We are a Forest School which means the children get the opportunity to spend time in Cock Hill (our local conservation area) learning and exporing in an outside enviroment. 

Health Promoting School

We have gained 'Stage One' accreditation as a Healthy School and we are working towards the final stage (stage 3) .  We continue to provide gym and physical activities, swimming and topics on healthy living as well as individual health targets for pupils and our Health Olympics.

Swimming

Swimming starts in the nursery.  Morning children have the chance to go to swimming lessons one morning per week throughout for the whole academic year.  Swimming lessons also are offered to all children P1-P7 in blocks of eight weeks.

Pupil Council

The Pupil Council is made up of pupils and staff. The pupils are elected by their class.  They are expected to put forward the views of their classmates to the staff and feedback information from the council meetings. There are 2 pupil representitives from each class.

The school offers lanuguage lessons from P1-P7, this will either be Italian or German depending on age.  All pupils of the school can use a special language games site.  Please contact the school for the web address and password to this site.
