Eco Schools

Barton Church of England Primary School pupils are passionate about their environment and what we can do to protect and preserve it.

We have a dedicated team who form the Eco Council and meet termly.

Their role is to ensure that as a school we are as environmentally conscious as we can possibly be.

They oversee all of the recycling in school and work closely with our local council to ensure that it is all collected regularly.  The Eco Council ensure that each white recycling bin in our school is emptied every lunchtime and all recycling is ready for council collection. We now have push taps in the girls and boys toilets to save water, as often taps were being left running.

We routinely participate in the Bags2School recycling scheme with help from Friends, whereby our families are encouraged to recycle all unwanted clothing and bedding.

During Spring term, we take part in a village litterpick and work alongside the ‘Barton Wombles’.
