Remus House is an old building and has had some upgrades to help it become more energy efficient, this includes double glazed windows, LED sensor lights & reduced night shifts. We use FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) approved paper suppliers.The FSC manage the sustainability of virgin paper production worldwide as currently the demand for paper is higher than the ability to recycle it. FSC take care of forests, employees and the wildlife who call them home. FSC paper is produced from responsibly sourced wood, this means that all of the paper we use has either been recycled or sourced from well-managed accredited forests. Lexi’s poem entitled ‘I’ve Had Enough’ which reflects her personal thoughts on the environment and its issues, will now be featured in the new book The Big Green Poetry Machine – Green Poets, and a copy of the book will remain in the National Archives forever. The competition organisers have also written to the school and sent a certificate to mark Lexi’s achievement.Pupils were invited to write a poem inspired by the environment and nature, from wildlife and conservation to climate change and more. School pupils nationwide have celebrated planet earth as well as writing some thought-provoking environmental pieces.
