SCHOOL SETS SIGHTS ON PRESTIGIOUS GREEN AWARD

December 2008

Pupils at Sibford School are setting their sights on a top eco award by pledging their support for going green.

The school has already achieved Bronze and Silver Eco-School status and is now working towards the prestigious Green Flag Award.

Sixth form students made paper windmills which they signed and used to create a wind farm in the school grounds to pledge their commitment to reducing carbon footprint.

The school also took part in an Energy Detectives workshop organised by SEEP – the Schools’ Energy Efficiency Project.

The workshop enabled pupils to identify areas where energy is being wasted in the school buildings and to set up an action plan to reduce energy wastage.

Angy Bovill, head of environmental science at Sibford, said: “The pupils are all very committed to ensuring that Sibford becomes a sustainable school.

“An energy awareness campaign has been drawn up with the aim of addressing global problems, especially climate change, and environmental representatives are being appointed for each tutor group to oversee this initiative.”
