OUR VISION
Our vision is to be St Helens’ most environmentally friendly school, creating sustainability solutions with both staff and students working together as a team and minimising our carbon footprint to support our local community.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our school’s foundation is built on our Cowleian values, which distinguish us and guide our actions. Our actions should respect our local, national and international environment and support the protection of our planet. We are responsible for protecting ourselves from the environmental crisis and looking after this planet for the next generation.

HOW TO INSPIRE
‘People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure’
– David Attenborough
To ensure our students are aware of just how important our planet is, we will do all we can to inspire them to participate in whole school activities to understand more about our environment and what we can do to save it.
