As part of the Clean Air for Thame project, funded by SODC, pupils at all the schools in Thame took part in a series of workshops before Christmas, to learn about air pollution and how it can impact their health, and explored ways to protect themselves from these effects. The pupils also used hand-held monitors to measure pollution levels on the streets near their schools.
Students from the Lord Williams's Year 7 Eco-Club are continuing the monitoring through winter and spring and will use all air quality data collected to create a map, complete with the Barley Hill, St Joseph's and John Hampden school pupils' drawings of the town. The map will highlight cleaner walking routes that have lower pollution levels.
Stay tuned as the Clean Air for Thame Schools map is launched in the summer term.
