This is what we had to do to
achieve our Silver Award:
Committee
Pupils put themselves forward to be part of a decision
making environmental committee.
There is representation from the parents on the
committee.
The committee meets a minimum of once every half-term.
A written account of meetings is kept.
Pupils share responsibility with adults for keeping a
record of the meetings.
Pupil representatives ensure that there is communication
to and from the committee to the rest of the school.
Review
Pupils and adults plan how to carry out an environmental
review of the school
A review document ( the Eco-Schools environmental review
checklist, or the schools own checklist) is used and the results
recorded.
Results of the review are made known to the whole
school.
The Eco-Committee plans action resulting from the
review.
Action Plan
Eco-Committee draws up a plan for environmental action.
Action plan includes specific targets with a time-frame
for completion.
A range of action is planned covering more than one
aspect of environmental management.
Monitoring and Evaluation
The Eco-Committee reviews progress against set targets
The Eco-Committee reports progress to whole school by
appropriate means on a regular basis.
The value of activities and action is understood and is
committed to by the whole school – pupils and adults.
Curriculum work
Some aspects of Eco-Schools activities are integrated
into the school curriculum for most year groups.
Informing and involving the
whole school and the wider community
An Eco-Schools notice board is kept in a prominent
position within the school.
The whole school is kept informed and involved in
activities through assembly presentations or newsletters.
The whole school engages in a number of Eco-Schools
activities such as paper recycling and improving school grounds
Parents are involved in Eco-Schools activities.
Eco-Schools activities are reported in local newspapers
and/or local radio.
There is an album of action in the school foyer for
visitors to look at.
Eco-Code
The Eco-Committee suggests an Eco-Code to the school for
their agreement.
The Eco-Code is displayed on the Eco-Schools notice
board.
