Eco-Schools network

Charterhouse is a member of the Surrey eco-schools network

To share ideas and activities for positive environmental action.

Pupils and staff across the schools meeting online to plan action.

The local environment will be the beneficiary, as well as the pupils involved in developing their team work and planning skills.

The London eco-schools network introduced Surrey Schools to each other.

The Surrey partnership started in winter 2020.

Internet and a Zoom licence are crucial for meetings.

A member of staff from each school is required to coordinate and attend meetings.

Current costs are staff time of around 12-15 hours a year.

The impact on the pupils will be assessed via regular surveys.

Approximately 20 pupils are involved from Charterhouse, aged 13-18.

It is an ongoing partnership with half-termly meetings for pupils.
