Eco Cluster - Aylsham Cluster

"I am interacting completely differently with my children when it comes to learning."

We are very impressed with the work that the Aylsham Cluster Eco Warriors and other pupils are involved in to consider environmental issues. The Aylsham Cluster is one of the first group of schools to be working together to share ideas and lobby for change.

Here is a taste of just some of the things that they are leading:

Encouraging adults to share lifts to school
Encouraging pupils to walk or cycle to school
Taking part in projects to reduce the carbon footprint of schools and families
Encouraging healthy eating
Urging people to recycle things at home
Pupils growing their own vegetables
Encouraging people to recycle mobile phones, ink cartridges, cardboard and paper
Using recycled materials for artwork
Encouraging others to dispose of their rubbish sensibly
Thinking creatively about alternative means of transport to school
Developing pond areas to encourage wildlife
Installing new taps to use less water
Campaigning for people to switch off lights when not needed
Encouraging ‘waste free’ packed lunches
Working with partner organizations such as RSPB and Norfolk Wildlife Trust
Encouraging people to turn their waste into compost
