Go Green Day

Go Green Day is on 12th February 2010

and we are holding a non uniform day in school.

All children are invited to pay 50p and come to school in non uniform, if possible wearing something green.

They will focus all their attention on climate change during Britain's 'green day'.

The green day is designed to bring alive the connections between climate change and the built environment, through thought-provoking eco-themed activities.

Taking part in Green Day 2010 is a great way to engage governors, staff, parents and students with issues of carbon reduction, a key recommendation of the recent Zero Carbon Task Force report.

Schools in England are responsible for the same amount of carbon emissions as Manchester and Birmingham combined - 15% of our public sector emissions.

The chair of the Zero Carbon Task Force, Robin Nicholson, stressed the importance of schools in helping to meet wider carbon reduction targets:

‘Schools are crucial in achieving lower energy ambitions, not least because of so many students’ enthusiasm for helping to protect the future of the planet. And it is not just the students; it is their families, their homes and their communities that surround the schools’.

All the money raised will go towards Eco projects for the school.
