  • Using Terra Cycle to recycle old pens, crisp and chocolate wrappers
  • Developing the Walking Bus to promote sustainable transport
  • Promoting using old or re-used paper when printing and photocopying
  • Establishing lunchtime garden club to promote protecting and supporting the biodiversity of the school 
  • Reviewing the amount and cause of food waste, using compost and food bins in classrooms to help reduce this

Pinner Wood Sustainability Pledge 

We worked as a whole school to think of aspects of sustainability we can embed and use in our learning and for our school. Using ideas from every class, we created a Pinner Wood Sustainability Pledge.

Sustainability Week

Monday 6th November - Friday 10th November 2023 

Pinner Wood celebrated an amazing Sustainability Week. The message was 'Voice, Action, Change' which allowed children children, staff and the wider school community to come together to make a difference. There were a number of activities during the week including external speakers talking about Biodiversity at home, outside activities making a bug house and harvesting our school pumpkins to make soup, reviewing the energy wastage in our building, a no paper day, recycling and every child making a Sustainability Pledge. Each class used their oracy skills to report, debate or share their findings on one of the Global Goals, such as promoting sustainable travel to school. Our Year 6 pupils created detailed ‘Change Speeches’ about a sustainability issue, which they will share with families and our community later in the year.  The week ended with an impressive ‘Trashion Show’ showing the creativity and green minded nature of our impressive pupils and a SWISH Swapping event where families could donate unwanted clothes, toys and books to swap.
