BYOB - Bring your Own Bottle

posted 26 Feb 2019, 04:20 by Robin Oxborrow [ updated 27 Feb 2019, 06:54 ]

It is estimated that 2.5 billion disposable cups are thrown away every year in the UK – and less than 1 in 400 are recycled!

To help maintain a healthy environment for us all to live, learn and work in, Alde Valley has stopped using disposable cups. Students bring to school a refillable drinking bottle that can be filled up at the water cooler during break and lunchtimes.

Waveney Valley Academies Trust currently runs three academies in the region, including St John Leman High School, Stowmarket High School and Roman Hill Primary School. Waveney Valley Academies Trust was formed in 2017 having evolved from the success of Sir John Leman High School, a high performing Single Academy Trust with an exceptional reputation for attainment, progress and school improvement. As a Multi Academy Trust, we will build a partnership of ambitious schools where children and young people, their families and our colleagues will be valued, challenged and believed in.

We aim to deliver the very best education and nurturing learning environments where a culture of excellence and aspiration will enable and empower students to achieve to the highest levels regardless of their social or economic background.

We have a proven track record for rapid and sustained school improvement, achieved through delivering effective leadership, embedding tried and tested systems and ensuring an innovative, strategic approach to change.

We will commit to sustainable growth, ensuring that schools of all sizes play a full and active part in our Trust and remain at the heart of the local communities they serve.
