Green Team

Welcome to the Overleigh Green Team! We believe 'Small actions make BIG differences'

Pupils are the driving force behind our  Eco-Schools – alongside staff and governors, they form and lead an Eco-Committee and help to carry out audits to assess the environmental performance of the school.

Uganda Day - Fundraising for our partner schools in Uganda.

Our school has made flowers out of plastic bottles, these will be placed on display in Chester Town Hall to mark 150 years of the Town Hall

Parents donated unwanted wellies which the Green Team recycled and made into plant pots. (see our lovely pictures above)

We are a Battery Recycling Collection Point

We crowdfunded to make a Peace Garden, the children made Eco bricks which will be used in the garden to fill a structure.  Watch this space as it develops!
