Sexton's Manor Community Primary

At Sexton’s Manor school we are very proud to be registered as an Eco School which recognises our commitment to developing strategies that sustain and enhance resources and the environment. This is a result of the hard work of our pupils, parents and staff in addressing environmental issues. We currently hold our 3rd Green Flag award.

Eco Committee meets every Friday lunchtime with Mrs Wright ( Eco Schools Coordinator). There are approximately 23 children representatives from Years 1 to 6. The children share ideas, complete an annual environmental audit, set environmental targets, run workshops using recycled crafts, run environmental campaigns across the school, hold assemblies to update our pupils and run competitions which help our school to work towards achieving our Eco Schools targets. We have Eco Monitors, voted for by the pupils. The Eco Monitors ensure each class is following their Energy Pledge and the Eco monitors checklist. More information about Eco Schools can be found on their website www.ecoschools.org.uk.

• Walk to school initiative – Walking Bus
