Another meeting of the Eco-Action Group - some eye-catching posters coming soon to a Refectory near you... #foodwaste Solihull School

#FoodWasteActionWeek this week - you can find out more by visiting lovefoodhatewaste.com/fwaw Food waste is an issue in itself as well having clear carbon emission and biodiversity impacts. There are lots of ideas here about how you can help.

The Solihull School Eco-Action Group have carried out some calculations and found that our Bham International Coaches school bus services make a BIG difference to the carbon impact of our school run. Literally TONNES of carbon saved each year compared with coming by car!🚌☑️

It's Bike Week!🚲In fact, it's the 100th anniversary of Bike Week and the sun is shining☀️ The perfect time to swap the car for a bike on the way to school, saving fuel, reducing traffic, and helping the planet. #BikeWeek100

Before he moved into a house right next door to the school, our Headmaster used to enjoy cycling to work frequently. This week, he is out on his bike before work, showing that it is possible from lots of places around Solihull.

A lovely evening cycle home today. Don't forget that there are House Points and goodies to be won by coming to school by bike on Thursday and Friday #BikeWeek100 Solihull School

So far today the most #BikeWeek100 House Points have been awarded Pole🥇, Shenstone 🥈, and Fetherston 🥉. All to play for tomorrow (by cycling to school Solihull School) or completing the 100 mile challenge over the coming weeks. 🚲

Last chance for House Points and a croissant/pain au chocolat on arrival at the Martyn Garner building tomorrow morning (8 til 8.30am) - only if you come by bike! #BikeWeek100 Solihull School 🚲✅✅✅

Last week climbing Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon with Solihull School Shell Form (Y8) pupils. Glorious sunshine and a beautiful setting for connecting with the outdoors. #snowdonia

"Waste not want not". Making meals out of left over ingredients. Stanley even managed to make some cakes for Harry's birthday. Well done Fourth Form 👍Solihull School Love Food Hate Waste

It's been a busy week with lots of #sustainability meetings! Decarbonization, heating surveys, big picture strategic thinking, roadmaps,... Lots to think about and put into action

Great day of #sustainability -related activities! 1) Morning pupil-led Zoom call with partner school in Latvia to practise our pitch for the British Council's Stronger Together project. 2) Great to make plans with ESG and Sustainability Lead from @Thomas_Franks_ this afternoon.
