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 both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 academic years.

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 2025-2026 academic year, the pupils chose: waste, school grounds 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.
