This dynamic, forward thinking and essential project is not only exceptional for the children and staff of the school, but also for the local environment. The school has always been proactive in pushing the boudaries, driving and motivating their kids to have a choice and a voice. This is another project that should have the full support of a dynamic and proactive local council and the local community to prove we can do what is right not only for our environment and learning the valuable lessons that come from that, but also for our fantastic, enthusiastic school and kids.

We feel that the Sustainable Communities criteria put forward under 'Natural environment and conservation' are suitable. We note one criterion for the protection, maintenance and enhancement of the foreshore. We would recommend that, when considering schemes against this criterion, you consult our Estuary Edges: Ecological Design Guidance available on our website at: http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/business/sectors/100745.aspx. The guidance focuses on the ecological benefits of recreating or maintaining natural/semi-natural waterside margins and provides some useful case study examples.
