Eco Council

Our school is very proud to be an Eco-School which recognises our commitment to developing strategies that sustain and enhance resources and the environment.

We are in the process of selecting our new Eco-Councillors for each class who will meet every half term to ensure we raise environmental awareness, improve our school environment and also create financial savings by reducing our use of electricity, paper and water throughout the school.

Allotment

Last year, we ran an extra-curricular club for the Eco Councillors, who were involved in planting and taking care of our school allotment. We grew a selection of fruits and vegetables and, to involve the local community, we visited a local allotment.

Litter 

As a school, we are committed to keeping our local community safe and tidy. First and foremost, this means keeping our school grounds clear of litter. Throughout the school year, our Eco Councillors will be involved with litter picking on the KS1 and KS2 playgrounds.

Recycling

We understand the importance of reduce, re-use and recycle.

The Eco Councillors are asked to recycle paper and to ensure that the lights are turned off when class leaves their classroom.

There is a clothes recycling facility which is located under the veranda on the KS2 playground so families are invited to make use of this.

Big Walk and Wheel

Each year, our school takes part in the Big Walk and Wheel. It inspires pupils to make active journeys to school, improve air quality in their neighbourhood and discover how these changes benefit their world.

World Environment Day

Every year, we celebrate ‘World Environment Day’ in June. Last year, every class throughout the school took part in this event which gave us the opportunity to learn about climate change that occurs around the world and the detrimental effects it is having on the environment and wildlife.
