Eco Ethos Statement
Hi! Welcome to the Chiswick School Eco Team page.
Our Goal is to help make Chiswick School more eco friendly and sustainable; not just for us, but for our local environment in general.
Our targets for this year include:
- Implementing red recycling bins (plastic and cans)
- Stopping littering
- Planting more trees/plants
- Creating places for friendly critters to live, including bird boxes
- Saving electricity across the school
Chiswick School is working towards creating an environmentally friendly experience for all students. Have a look through this page to see what we have done/are doing!
