Eco Centre
The eco program in Esh Winning Primary School aims to raise parents and pupils awareness of environmental issues and sustainable development issues with a focus on waste management, water and energy conservation.
The school hopes to gain Eco status as a result of the measures that the pupils and staff are putting in place.
The school has an eco committee made up of elected students from years 2 to 6, parents, governors and staff. The children take minutes in the meetings and take a lead role in the decision making. The committee has come up with an ECO code.
OUR ECO CODE
- Turn off the lights when they are not needed

Durham City Council has donated recycling bins which are in every classroom. We are all recycling paper.
We have bought litter pickers everyone has been helping the school be a better place.
We are switching the lights off more often than before the committee was formed.
The years 3 and 4 will be working with outside agencies to redevelop and re-landscape our school grounds.
We raised money for the infants to go to the wind farm. |
