Northern Star Academies Trust
Year of Waste Challenge
2020-2021 Challenge ambition:
- To inform the strategic thinking of Members, Trustees, Headteachers, SLT and Governors in all aspects of how the Trust schools manage and reduce waste.
- To develop a Waste Policy for the Trust that is realistic, sustainable and supports the Trust in meeting its core objective of reducing its carbon footprint.
July 2021: Our Eco-Rangers met with Mrs Plews (NSAT CEO) and Dr Jane Beasley in our Outdoor Classroom area to share what we have learnt in the past 12 months about waste.
Waste Crime:
Did you know that Waste Crime costs the UK Government around £600 million a year? Our Eco-Rangers have been learning all about Waste Crime and the effect that it has upon our locality. The Eco-Rangers have been actively noting all incidents of Fly-Tipping around the Greatwood and Horseclose Estate and have even written to our local Mayor and the local MP Julian Smith.
Eco-Ranger Badges
You will be able to easily identify our Eco Rangers within school as all 11 members now wear their very own 'Save The Earth' badges on their right sleeves.

Eco-Rangers Board
We have a large area at the entrance to Greatwood School which is where our Waste display and our two eco-boards are.
Nature Savers
Our Eco-Rangers are so passionate about saving nature that they have set up another group called 'The Nature Savers.' They have been actively raising funds for Oxfam and for the RSPB. The girls held
a bake and craft stall at school and raised £100. We have no doubt that the Nature Savers will continue to be passionate about reducing single use plastics, protecting animals and doing their bit to teach others about Eco issues.
