Each class has two of the young warriors who co-ordinate green projects through-out the school, including a twice-yearly Walk to School week where parents are encouraged to ditch their car and walk or cycle to school with their children.

Assistant head Rachael Robertson, who nominated the school for our Green Super School award, also highlighted eco days where pupils are involved in making bird feeders, hibernation houses and mini beast homes.

Every classroom, the staffroom and the school office have recycling bins for paper, which is collected weekly by recycling monitors, and all the light switches have signs reminding children to turn the lights off.

The eco warriors check the classes each lunchtime and the most eco-friendly class of the week is awarded Eco the Owl.

Outside, the pupils compost the fruit and vegetable waste from playtime fruit, and the benches in the pond area are used for lessons among the wildlife.

There are also areas that are kept wild for butterfiles and bees, and a wormery has been installed to provide extra compost resources.

The children also maintain a series of bird tables and bird feeders.

The school is also planning to install a renewable energy source with a wind turbine purchased with a grant from a local project that is due to be fitted at the end of this month.

Another project that is under way is a money-raising campaign to buy an outdoor run for chickens.

"The staff, children and local community have been really dedicated and heavily involved in giving up their time to these projects," said Miss Robinson.
