West Sussex Primary Food Waste Recycling School Pack
This comprehensive primary school pack provides everything needed to introduce, embed and sustain food waste recycling within a school setting. Designed to support the rollout of food waste collections in West Sussex, it combines curriculum-linked learning, pupil engagement and practical behaviour change tools into a single, easy-to-use package.
The pack includes a structured Teacher’s Guide alongside a ready-to-deliver assembly and presenter’s notes, enabling schools to introduce key concepts with minimal preparation. Pupils are then supported to move from awareness to action through eco-team activities, worksheets and a creative poster competition, helping them understand food waste and take an active role in improving recycling behaviours.
To reinforce learning and ensure consistent practice, the pack also includes posters, bin signage and certificates. These resources provide clear visual prompts at the point of use, celebrate pupil achievement, and help embed positive habits across the whole school. Together, they create a joined-up approach that links classroom learning with real-world action in dining areas, classrooms and at home.
