What is it?
An environmental programme that will cover all aspects of school life and can be included in all school subjects. Not only will it help everyone within the school, it should be extended to include our local community. It is for all of us!
Award scheme
Every school now has to take part in an environmental scheme and Ellon Academy has decided to follow the Eco-Schools award scheme. There are three award levels and to begin with, as a school, Ellon will be aiming for the Bronze-Level award.
Who will be
involved?
Both staff and pupils will be expected to collaborate and take an active part in this scheme.
‘What are the benefits?Greater awareness and respect for the environment, cash savings on bills and better links with the local community are just some of the benefits of becoming an Eco School. ‘ (http://www.eco-schools.org.uk/html/about/benefits.htm)
