Sustainable School
We strongly believe in developing a strong understanding of sustainability on a local, national and global level. This focus has become essential across the globe.
We understand that children need to develop an understanding of complex issues and opportunity but this is not enough – we need to give our children the tools to articulate and communicate their ideas through oracy.
Being a Rights Respecting School helps the children to know and articulate their rights.
Once children know their rights; they can be changemakers and can use the SDGs as a platform to take action.
At South Grove, the Rights articles and the SDGs provide relevance in our curriculum. SDGs themes have been integrated across the school and turned into actionable projects within the community.
Pupils can see how their involvement will be a catalyst for change intrinsic motivation and moral purpose to learn. As citizens of the world, young people have values, beliefs and the ability to identify and challenge barriers to change.
Green School Project
Help us recycle and raise funds for our school!
We're excited to share some fantastic news with you all! South Grove Primary School has started to recycle with TerraCycle®'s Green School Project. Contributing to it helps our school raise funds and teach the importance of recycling to empower future generations to take action at no cost to you!
How it works
- Students, teachers and the staff can drop off their hard-to-recycle rubbish at our recycling point.
- Once we have a full box, we send it to TerraCycle® (using a free shipping label).
- TerraCycle® awards us points that we can redeem for donations to the school.

A couple of tips:
- Start collecting accepted items in a box at home and bring it in once it’s full.
- Please make sure only to drop off accepted items (listed above).
- Items don’t have to be fully cleaned, but please remove as much product (e.g. crumbs) as possible.
- Please drop your items into the correct boxes.
We look forward to recycling with you! The more you drop off, the more you help your school raise funds and help us empower future generations to take action.
