School / Eco-Council
This year we have a combined School & Eco Council. This is a group of six children - they meet with The Head fortnightly to discuss school and environmental issues.
Hepworth J & I achieved Eco School status in 2019. We believe that this is the most important think we can teach our pupils. We retained the award in 2020, 21 & 22.
Eco - Curriculum
We have created a curriculum unique to Hepworth which incorporates many of the 10 eco-school curriculum areas:
- biodiversity
- energy
- water
- marine
- transport
- waste
- global citizenship
- healthy living
- school grounds
- litter
