Green Schools News

We have set some targets for our Green Schools Travel Flag…

1) to increase the number of children walking from 8% to 15%

2) to increase the number of children carpooling from 30% to 50%

We are holding our first ”Feet First Friday” on Friday, 13th March.

We will dress in green and as many children as possible will ”park ‘n’ stride” from Silver Birches or The Rocks depending on what which road you take to school. With the weather improving we aim to do this on a regular basis. Further information will be sent to parents shortly.

If you would like more information on carpooling you can click here.

Green Schools – Travel Flag

We are currently working on our fourth Green Schools Flag, Travel. We have successfully obtained the flags for Litter and Waste, Electricity and Water. We are being encouraged to use more sustainable ways of travelling to and from school. e.g. carpooling, walking, cycling, bus, park ‘n’ stride. You’ll hear lots more about these in the coming months.
