Class of Your Own kids from Accrington Academy, Lancashire, UK at the 2010 CEFPI Conference in San Jose, California. The Roots Eco Classroom.
4.A Design for our Community
Our vision began 12 months ago following
a workshop to help us to learn how to be
more sustainable in our everyday lives.
We formed teams of managers, architects,
surveyors and landscapers to design the
ultimate green building for our school.
The different designs and presentations
were judged and three winning teams were
given the opportunity to make our vision a
reality....
By involving our community in the
development and sustainability of our
project we are helping to change the way
people think about environmental issues.
Local projects should help local people and that makes business sense. We aim to source all building and landscape supplies from within a 50 mile radius of our school thereby helping to support those local businesses.
Our Pre Qualification Questionnaire will ensure that the local business community who wish to help us pull up their green socks, and treat sustainability as their number one priority.
This is not just our classroom, but it will be our little brothers and sisters to enjoy for a long time. We will create a Learning Centre Maintenance Plan managed by a School Committee which will involve the whole community.
Our building and its environment will be looked after throughout the seasons and during holiday periods. We will measure outcomes and record our progress, reporting back to our stakeholders at regular intervals.
We are well aware that we are only temporary guardians of our classroom -- we want to leave it as our legacy for future pupils of Accrington Academy.
5.Our Community Launch Day
To ensure that our community were fully involved in our plans and aspirations, we celebrated the launch of our ideas with speeches and presentations at the Academy.
We invited members of the local community, the Lord Mayor of Accrington, the Member of Parliament for Hyndburn and local businesses and individuals who could help us turn our ideas into reality.
6.Learning in our Classroom
Roots is a company made up of a mixed age group of Accrington Academy students with one big idea. We have come together to create a unique, eco friendly and sustainable classroom. The plans for the classroom have involved a lot of communication, commitment and most
of all the drive to ensure our ideas were realistic and as eco-friendly as possible.
