Eco School Project
Guiseley Community Foundation Coach Marcus has started the Eco Schools project in two of our schools- Queensway and Guiseley Primary. The first session has seen Marcus meet up with each school’s newly-elected Eco Committees to discuss the project. Both schools are beginning to complete an environmental review, which will help them create an action plan to make their school more environmentally friendly. Once this action plan has been written up and displayed on each school’s Eco-board, the schools will have reached the first milestone en route to Eco School status, the Bronze flag award.

All’s fair – again!
Tranmere Primary School has proudly retained its Fair Trade Award through the work of its very active Fair Trade Council. The school’s Fair Trade Council actively deliver assemblies to the rest of the school and fully organising the Fair Trade shop, from the ordering of the produce to the organising of the actual stall. Fair Trade is also embedded within the curriculum and links are carefully made to topic work where possible.The school began its move towards being a Fair Trade School a number of years ago as it felt it was important for children to understood where their food comes from and begin to develop an understanding of the way in which people of the world are connected. The aim is to encourage the children to become global citizens and understand that the choices they make can really make a difference to the lives of others.
