Eco-Schools

At Iver Village Junior School we are enormously proud of our Eco-School Council and Monitors. The Eco-School committee is made up from children in year 4 and above, senior teaching staff, non-teaching staff and governors.

Over the last few years, we have been working very hard to promote a sustainable school. Our commitment to the project has been hugely successful as we were awarded with the 'Green Flag' status!

We were reassessed on 8th March 2016 and the assessors were very pleased. Here's what they had to say:

"The school keeps a clear, up-to-date record of activities which is a joy to see and read. The teachers work together to make subjects interesting and fun while incorporating them in to the curriculum. The children show involvement, pleasure and passion for eco-schools and are clearly pleased that their voice is heard. Well done to everyone at Iver Village Junior School and keep up the great work!”

Our Eco-schools Monitors actively encourage our whole school to switch off lights and smart boards that aren't being used, to recycle paper, compost raw food waste, to turn off taps, water the plants and to look after our environment. To achieve these aims, they regularly take part in and promote:

Switch off Month
Waste Week
The Big Schools Birdwatch Survey
Walk to School initiatives
Recycling

Everyone can play their part in making our school and local community more environmentally friendly. We encourage everyone, who can, to walk to school or the shops whenever possible.

We also recycle old batteries, used stamps and ink cartridges, so bring in any that are unwanted to the reception, so that we can recycle them responsibly for you and stop these products ending up in landfill sites!
