Environment

The School is consistently at the forefront of environmental initiatives within the educational sector.

Students are fully encouraged to take the lead in promoting awareness of and implementing strategies that relate to environmental issues and many join The School's Environmental Committee, assisted by The Environmental Co-ordinator, Mr Mike Grundmann.

The School wants to put in place long-term strategies for our continued development in this area. We have recently registered with the EcoSchools programme, continue to offset our carbon emissions, and are striving to provide a culture of reduction, re-use and recycling wherever possible.

With these aims in mind, we appoint Environmental Representatives for each of the School years up to Fourth Year, and all older boys are strongly encouraged to think about how their actions affect their place of study: car pooling, cycling, and public transport are all heartily endorsed as a good way to reduce individual carbon footprints!

Everyone connected to the school needs to ask themselves whether there are additional ways in which they can help improve the local and global environment, and bearing in mind our pupils will be amongst the future leaders we feel it is imperative that we take this chance to educate and inform as widely as we can.
