Eco-School
At Ursuline, we are proud to be both an Eco-School and a Beach School! We have many different oppourtunities for our pupils to do their bit and save our environment, using their local area as an oppourtunity to love, learn and grow together. We believe children and young people are the key in tackling our planet's climate crisis. Which is why at Ursuline, we have our very own Eco-Warriors!
Eco-Warriors are voted for by their peers and engage in many different environmentally focussed projects. For example, activities such as beach cleans, environmental reviews, local, national, and international campaigns, and promoting energy conservation among staff and peers while at school. Eco-Warriors are voted on a termly-basis, those selected meet a number of times throughout the acedemic year with Mr Scrutton.
We are so proud of our Eco-School and our Eco-Warriors!
