• Optivo Natures Champion Award

  Mon 05 Nov 2018

  Mrs Neeves was awarded the Optivo Natures Champion award at this year’s Kent wildlife trust’s ‘Wild about Gardens’ ceremony at Canterbury College on Thursday 25^th October.

   

  Mrs Neeves was nominated for the award by the Kent wildlife trusts judge who visited the school back in July. She came to see how the children of St Edward’s Catholic Primary School were gardening for wildlife in their school grounds. The judge was very impressed with Mrs Neeve's commitment and determination in a year when the school had gone through many changes and her encouragement in getting the children to engage with nature. St Edward’s Catholic Primary School won a bronze award for their wildlife gardening efforts.

  

• ECO Schools Award

  Fri 02 Nov 2018 Mrs Hardy

  This year in school we are working towards the ECO Schools Award and the ECO Committee will be working in collaboration with the Gardening Club and Walk on Wednesday Scheme in order to achieve it. We have already met with the Woodland Trust and have secured 420 shrubs and trees for the environment to encourage a wide variety of wildlife to visit the school grounds. This will also link into wildlife and plant studies in science. It is going to be such an exciting year>

   

  We will "kick-off" with an Eco Assembly on Thursday 22nd November with all the information the children need on the roles and responsibilities of the ECO committee, how to apply for the post and how the school as a whole can work towards the award.
