At Thringstone Primary School, we care deeply about our children, our community and the world they will grow up in. Looking after the environment is part of helping every child to believe and achieve together.
We want children to understand that small actions can make a big difference. Walking or scooting to school, recycling and reusing, planting in the garden and learning about nature are everyday ways we care for the world around us. Through lessons and assemblies, children also learn about bigger issues such as climate change, helping them grow up confident that they can play their part.
What this looks like at Thringstone
