Exciting news!  Ridgeway School now have our very own Eco Committee.  We are aiming to make positive changes across school/homes and the local community to support the planet.  We are also working towards gaining an Eco Schools Green Flag Award to showcase the excellent work our Eco Committee will be doing.  Our first step is to conduct an Environmental Review of the school to see which areas we are currently doing well in and which areas we need to improve.

Watch this space!

Students have been working with Rachel from Kier Construction.  She gave them a brief to design a new school which had to include at least one sustainability feature.  Students included things like rain water collection, solar panels, wild flower meadows, trees and bug hotels.

Post 16 have been building a bug hotel in the bungalow garden.  We also have a hedgehog house next door and have been letting the garden behind grow wild to attract the bugs.
