Eco Council

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

Every year, each class elects an Eco Councillor. The Eco Councillors meet regularly 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. They were involved in planting and taking care of our school allotment, which included growing a selection of fruits and vegetables. We also had the opportunity to find out about what is happening in the local community by visiting a local allotment.

Litter 

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 are 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 ensure their class recycles paper and saves energy by turning off the lights when their classroom is not in use.

We also have a clothes recycling facility which is located under the veranda on the KS2 playground.  Families are invited to make use of this.

Big Walk and Wheel

We are proud to say that we take part in the Big Walk and Wheel annually. We are always extremely grateful to our children and their families for always supporting this event with great enthusiasm! It is a wonderful way to inspire the children to make active journeys to school, improve air quality in the local neighbourhood and discover how these changes benefit the world.

World Environment Day

Every year, we celebrate ‘World Environment Day’ in June, the theme of which changes each year. Last year, it gave us the opportunity to learn about climate change and the detrimental effects it is having on the environment and wildlife. This is another event that every class throughout the school takes part in.
