At The Pointer School we care deeply about the environment and the future of the planet for our children. We look to continuously reduce our own impact on global heating and work to protect our planet through actions great and small.
Sustainability is integrated into our curriculum and also taught discreetly at points throughout the year!
In Summer 2025, we were very proud to receive the Eco Green Flag award with distinction. This reflected the hard work the community had put into making The Pointer School a more sustainable place. Here is Mr O’Loghlen, Sustainability Lead with Head Mrs Crookes and our Green Flag!
As part of our Eco Green Flag application, we launched a completion for the children to design an Eco Code. The winner Anais Lefevbre created an amazing design. All the rooms in the school will now see Anais’s Eco Code up on the wall!

During an Eco Council meeting in February, the class reps designed their own Switch Off reminder signs to encourage children and staff to save energy!
