The project will run throughout the year and will involve a waste audit (actual physical sort of the waste) at the beginning and end of the year, evaluation of the children’s opinions and views, child-led evidence collecting, action planning and tasks, peer group dissemination of information and recycling & composting workshops.
The WoW project aims to make your whole school community waste champions and reduce waste at its source!
What’s involved?
Our experienced team will work with your school over an extended period, creating a customised timetable of support that meets your school’s needs. The programme could include:
- An initial meeting to discuss how WoW can work in your school
- A hands-on waste audit to engage pupils and staff with this important environmental issue
- Meetings with a range of school staff (e.g. Bursar, Caretaker, Kitchen Staff, SLT) and students (e.g. School Council, Eco Team) to discuss the waste audit results and plan next steps
- Peer group dissemination of information to inspire the whole school to take action to reduce waste
- A second waste audit to support pupils to monitor the success of the project
- A whole-school celebration of successes
- Sharing your WoW journey with the wider school community
