We are passionate about looking after our environment at Dover Christ Church Academy, looking after the world we live in – not only maintaining and sustaining it but improving it too.
The schools’ eco-friendly efforts are maintained by the Eco Warriors - a group of pupils who are responsible for looking after the school environment. They monitor the schools’ energy use and encourage staff and pupils to recycle, as well as taking part in discussions, voting on environmental factors, and feeding back relevant information to the rest of their class. The Eco Warriors have created a climate charter for their school where pupils commit to following a code to improve their school environment.
We are working towards our 2025/2026 Eco School Green Flag Accreditation by continuing to work on our Seven Step framework
