Green Tourism
Environmental policy

At The Old School we are all committed to conducting our businesses and working practices in a way that minimises the environmental impact of our activities.

Some of the actions we have taken to reduce our impact are:
•  All staff are trained in environmental procedures.
•  We are efficient in our use of energy.
•  We monitor waste and recycle appropriately.
•  We use eco-friendly products.
•  We trade, wherever possible, locally.
•  When sourcing products from outside the UK, we seek to use Fair Trade.
•  We contribute to the support of wildlife.

By encouraging sustainable practices we try to ensure the continued enjoyment of the environment around us for future generations.

Hedgehog sanctuary and wildlife at The Old School   At The Old School we maintain a wildlife habitat by:
•  Offering sanctuary to hedgehogs.
•  Feeding and offering homes to birds. We have various    nesting boxes and feeding stations.
•  Encouraging and monitoring the visits of red squirrels.
•  Allowing insects to develop naturally, by not
    using insecticides or chemicals.
•  Encouraging snails as additional food for birds.
•  Allowing the growth of natural flora and keeping
    our gardens and grounds in a natural way.

We use Enjo cleaning cloths - an environmentally friendly cleaning system. Bathrooms, kitchen, glass, surfaces and floors all have dedicated cloths which work like magic - and make cleaning far
easier. Visit www.enjo.co.uk to see the full range of products.
