Eco Schools

At Uplands Junior LEAD Academy, we are committed to caring for our environment and promoting sustainability within our school and local community. Our Eco initiatives encourage pupils to take responsibility for their surroundings and develop lifelong habits that protect our plant.

What we do:

• School litter picking: Pupils regularly take part in litter-picking sessions around the school grounds to keep our environment clean and tidy.
• Community litter picks: We extend our efforts beyond the school gates by organising community litter-picking events. These activities help pupils understand the importance of looking after shared spaces and foster a sense of pride in their local area.

Through these actions, we aim to reduce waste, protect wildlife and inspire our pupils to become environmentally responsible people.

Madina (6 Cedar) took part in a sustainability poster competition created by Leicester Univeristy. Madina made 2 posters and both were chosen as winning entries. We all like to send our congratulations to Madina for her inspiration posters.
