It’s Autumn Eco Week!

This week marks our celebration of all things eco, featuring engaging activities such as insightful talks from guest speakers, workshops focusing on air quality, the intersection of sports and the climate crisis, and the impact of fast fashion. We also emphasised the significance of bees and conducted an Active Travel survey.

Sixth Form students were inspired by a presentation from Dan Brown, a Climate Researcher at the University of Bristol. He discussed his research on extreme weather events and the desperate need for research to support the development of loss and damage funds to support low-income regions.

Meanwhile, our Year 7 students participated in a workshop highlighting the importance of bees in the environment. They also contributed to the creation of Eco-Advent bags for the guests at the Julian Trust Shelter. With over 70 bags prepared and boxes ready for donations, our initiative for the Julian Trust Shelter is set to make a positive impact.

The entire school community embraced sustainability through a Christmas jumper swap. During break and lunch, students tried on various jumpers, exchanging them with friends. Not only did this initiative generate £15 for the Avon Wildlife Trust, but it also saved 15 new jumpers from being purchased or discarded. Keep an eye out for our upcoming charity T-Shirt Swap during next year’s Spring Eco-Week!
