This will be a normal teaching day with the following special events taking place:-

Green Mufti means that pupils must wear something green and the rest is usual non-uniform attire. Please note shorts may be worn but nothing shorter than mid-thigh (no bare legs in lessons).  Also non-uniform does not mean extra jewellery or make-up may be worn.

Green Survey

Keen to understand and record students’ perceptions of Green issues at Churcher’s, our Green Co-ordinator, Dawn Perry asked form tutors to conduct the following short survey as a basis from which to move forward. We asked years 1 – 4  (in the absence of the other year groups who are currently on study leave),

Puplis were asked to nominate 2 monitors to represent their class on ‘green ‘ issues and attend 1 x 15 min. lunch time meeting a term, reporting  back to class. This is an essential aspect of developing a sustainable school.  These students will be photographed for‘The Chucherian’, collect merits and receive a unique  Green ‘ Eco Warrior’ team T shirt !
