Our Curriculum

 

The White Rose Science Curriculum teaches aspects of sustainability across year groups and we are keen that our children are well educated in such an important topic.

 

Our science curriculum is enriched by the Reach2 Sustainability curriculum which allows pupils to have a fuller understanding of the sustainability demands and needs we are facing currently.  This enables them to be informed citizens of our planet.  

 

Sustainability is key on our agenda at Kirby and we are working hard to be a more sustainable school.   

 

We recycle paper and plastics in school.  We contniue to strive to be more sustainable as a school and the school coucil have sustainability as an agenda item during their regular meetings.    

 

What we do in school to be more sustainable

 

Recycling

 

We have a recycling box in our reception which is for any empty ink or toner cartridges to be placed in.  These are then sent off for recycling and the PTA also receive a small commission for this too!  This scheme is called Empties Please.  See below for more information:-

 

 

Every classroom has recycling bins so that we recycle as much as we can.

 

Lights in school

 

We encourage staff and children to turn off lights and equipment when it is not being used.  We also have energy saving lighting throughout the school.  

 

Kitchen and catering

 

We ensure that we use a local company for our fruit and veg deliveries.  We also ensure that single us plastic is minimal in the kitchen.  The kitchen also recycles food waste.

 

Uniform

 

We encourage our parents to use the uniform bank at St Mary's Church in Frinton to ensure that we reuse and recycle school uniform.  This obviously helps us to be more sustainable too. 

 

We still have lots more to do, but we have made a good start.
