In conjunction with the COP26 climate change conferenc we wanted to have a massive push on raising environmental awareness and doing our bit to support the planet.  

We have purchased new recycling bins for both paper and plastic which are now situated around the school and we will be encouraging all students to use these, and have a textile recycling bin on the year 7 yard available for everyone to use. We have been successful in our grant application from the local authority, and we have been given £500 to help launch our very own Sandhill View Eco Team. This will be a group of student representatives from each year group who will focus on raising awareness and tackling climate change on a school level, reducing our carbon footprint and improving the environment around us. The teams first task will be organising the planting of 450 new trees around the school grounds, with the support of their peers.
