Eco - School
 |
Dorothy Stringer has been an Eco-School for 6 years. The school has been involved in a number of schemes which have helped the local and school environments as well as having an impact in the classroom. |

The Eco Schools process is holistic. It works by involving the whole school (pupils, teachers, non-teaching staff and governors) together with members of the local community (parents, the local authority, the media and local businesses). It encourages teamwork and helps to create a shared understanding of what it takes to run a school in a way that respects and enhances the environment. |
Eco Schools is much more than an environmental management system for schools. It is a programme for promoting environmental awareness in a way that links to many curriculum subjects, including citizenship, personal, social and health education (PSHE) and education for sustainable development. |
