  1. St. Mary’s Church Of England Primary School Timsbury Our school and our environmentare important to us . . .

  2. We care about the environment! School Grounds Help us to look after it!

  3. MP Jacob Rees-Mogg visited to look at our new biomass boiler.

  4. Our biomass boiler is fuelled by wood pellets that come from wood sourced in the United Kingdom.

  5. We found out about our new boiler. We understand how it works and what makes it carbon neutral.

  6. Storm wrote an article about the benefits of our new, biomass boiler. This was published in a national, children’s newspaper called First News.

  7. In the last two years we have created our own vegetable beds and now grow a wide variety of fruit and vegetables to help the school become more sustainable. Members of Timsbury Allotment Society have provided great support. Thank you.

  8. Flowers are important to us too!

  9. The fruit and vegetables we grow are prepared in our school kitchen and served with our school dinners.

  10. Members of Timsbury Allotment Society helped us make a compost heap. Fruit peelings and other vegetable waste is now recycled and used to enrich the soil in our school vegetable beds.

  11. Later this year we hope to put up our own greenhouse. We looked at models made from recycled materials but in the end, decided that a conventional greenhouse would better meet our needs.

  12. HEALTHY BREAKFAST! We often have whole school food events where we are encouraged to make healthy food choices.

  13. We have put lots of additional lagging in our roof spaces.

  14. All our single glazed windows have now been replaced by double glazed units to help prevent heat loss.

  15. We have installed push-release taps to help conserve water. In 2010 this helped reduce our water bill by £420.

  16. We have lots of roof space and would like to install solar photovoltaic panels to enable us to generate electricity from the sun. We have plans . . . .

  17. but have been told that to be an efficient system, we must fell our two mulberry trees! . . . . and we don’t want to do this!
