We aim to make Osmotherley Primary School as environmentally friendly as possible and reduce our ‘plastic footprint’.  It is something that the staff and pupils at Osmotherley School feel very passionate about.  

We no longer use a national milk scheme, choosing to use the local milk delivery in glass bottles instead.  This means we no longer receive the children’s milk orders in individual cardboard cartons with plastic straws.

We responded to a Government incentive to change all the light-bulbs within the building to LED lights.  This has reduced the amount of electricity we use.  We are also keen to look into the feasibility of installing solar panels on our fabulously situated south facing roof to generate our own sustainable energy!

We encourage the children at Osmotherley School to walk, cycle or scoot to school if possible and we have registered to take part in a ‘WOW’ walk to school week.  We would also welcome any ideas from our families to help us on our journey.

Osmotherley Primary Eco Warriors help with paper recycling and checking that lights and taps are turned off after use.
