Examples of LSEA work
Northside Primary SchoolAward: Highly Commended 2008 The school produced a fabulous entry with well-presented, clear and innovative action plans. The whole school was involved with both the litter and the biodiversity themes. It was encouraging to see the children making bird boxes, mapping wildlife and plants in the school and local area, studying life cycles, pond dipping, and growing plants. The litter plans were superb with many different tasks being designed for each of the objectives. Surveys, analysis and reporting on their findings made this entry deserve the highly commended award.

The judges particularly liked the sustainability of the projects with the school travel plan, the planting of heather on Hayes Common and the positive action of utilising the local cycle shop to repair bikes. Innovation came from the school deciding to sell the children’s version of the Pick It Up song to parents, raising money for the school! The whole school has clearly been involved with the LSEA and the parents, teachers, pupil and local community are working together to improve the local environment.

Litter pledges, reuse of ‘waste’ into art, a review and redesign of recycling symbols led this school to 1st place. The school made a fundamental difference to the borough of Enfield when pupils contacted their local railway to clean up the railway near the school which had been home to old beds, washing machines, shopping trolleys and general rubbish for many months. The pupils gained support from local residents, utilised local businesses and are now working to keep their local area litter free. The presentation was effective, simple and to the point. All action plans were well thought out and innovative. This was a great example of LSEA in practice and well deserved of the Distinction award! Litter and Local Hotspot Mapping PDF only Walker Primary SchoolAward: Highly Commended 2008 It was clear to the judges that there was a lot of thought gone into the action plans, and the curriculum links were great. The pupils took action on litter by looking and highlighting the litter problem in their local area and then made pledges to tackle the problem. The school contacted their local MP and got media coverage for their new school pond. The use of each year group to study the LSEA themes allowed the school to cover global issues as well as local issues with year 6 pupils researching the rainforest, deforestation and renewable energy. Altogether a great project which the local community, parents and pupils embraced. View examples of Walker Primary School Oxford GardensAward: Distinction The school involved all ages including the nursery and reception classes. The judges particularly liked the use of a PowerPoint presentation to cut down the use of paper in the submission. It was great to see the teachers visiting other Kensington schools to see what they have done – this showed initiative. The garden area was spectacular with all of the children having an input into what should happen to their grounds. The school even transformed their home corner into a garden centre. All of the action plans were well thought out, with ideas, research, actions and analysis all linked to the curriculum. Environmental messages were conveyed to the whole school via assemblies and though PowerPoint presentations.

The action day was a great success with media coverage and community involvement from the local council, volunteers and shops. The children used blogs to communicate and discuss environmental issues, which was innovative. The evidence provided for the LSEA was of a high standard. The whole school was involved with the award and the children took an active role in communicating with outside organisations, promoting walking to school and becoming altogether more sustainable.
