Eco Schools

Stockport Grammar School is committed to minimising our environmental impact and offering our pupils, their parents and everyone who visits the school a safe and healthy space.

Eco Schools is a national programme that encourages schools to involve pupils in a wide range of environmental initiatives. Since 2018, SGS has been part of this initiative. The Eco Schools committee, made up of staff and pupils, continually works towards the Eco Schools accreditation of Green Flag Status. In the Summer term of the 2022-2023 academic year, the school was elated to be awarded the Eco Schools Green Flag with Distinction. They maintained this award in the 2023-2024 academic year.

Each year we conduct a review into 10 different areas of the school: Waste, Biodiversity, Marine, Water, Litter, Transport, School Grounds, Energy, Global Citizenship and Healthy Living. Following the review, the Eco-School committee focussed on three areas. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the pupils chose: Water, Biodiversity and Global Citizenship. For each of our chosen areas, we detail what we are currently doing, our plans for the future and what you can do at home.
