Patcham Junior School has saved £21,761 in electricity costs since installing the solar panels in 2020, and reduced its CO2 emissions by 35.73 tonnes. This is equivalent to planting 559 trees saplings. (BHESCo Report 2025)
"THIS WEEK'S SUSTAINABILITY TIP"
Eco-friendly Spring Cleaning - Homemade cleaning products using natural ingredients like vinegar and bicarbonate of soda are effective and eco-friendly. Green cleaning practises save water, cut chemicals, and reduce energy and waste significantly
What can you do?
· Reuse old containers and either buy less-waste refills, or make your own product!
· Essential Oils can help add a beautiful scent to often unscented eco-friendly products
· Use plastic-free cleaning tools
· Introduce sustainable cleaning habits – steam cleaning to avoid chemicals, or dry clothes on a line, when possible, to save energy.
· Check the EU Ecolabel catalogue for products which don’t contain hazardous substances, are sustainably sources and have recyclable packaging
Our Sustainability Plan page is regularly updated with all the steps Patcham Junior is taking towards Zero Net 2030, and you can find all weekly Sustainablility Tips added at the bottom of the page.
Please check our board at the main gate for more information on how you can help us:
RHS School Gardening Award - Another incredible achievement made possible by Ms Moyse and our wonderful children! This is a culmination of the hard work of several groups since the beginning of the year, so it really is a team effort from students across the school. We will plant the seeds sent by the RHS as reward and we'll share their produce soon!
Please, check SPORTS EVENTS on this link - check the 20 free spaces for Boxing Lessons with Moulsecoomb Boxing Academy!
