At The Pointer School we care deeply about the environment and the future of the planet for our children. We look to continuously to 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.
The Pointer School - Glyphosate Free
Glyphosates are chemicals used in weed killers. They are very damaging to the environment, having a devastating impact on insects and bees that vital for a functioning and healthy eco system. At The Pointer School we are committed to minimising our impact on nature and using gentle methods on our grounds. Maintenance Team says ‘We are Glyphosate free!’
