Eco-Council

The Eco Council is made up of representatives from our Upper Key Stage Two classes.  These children have volunteered to help raise awareness within the school community of the ongoing climate crisis and the importance of looking after our environment.

Meet the Team

Over the course of the year, the team will lead campaigns in the school to avoid waste, encourage recycling and save resources such as water and electricity.

Autumn Term

The Eco- Team introduced themselves to the school community this term and our more experienced members shared what they already do in school to help the environment. 

The Eco Council expressed an interest in teaching others to recycle appropriately and to use the correct bins and to remind them what can and can not be put into them.  They also talked to their peers about encouraging others, including their teachers, to switch off lights/plugs and devices when they are not in use.

The Eco-Team aims to teach the children more about the importance of saving energy and have been very eager to ensure that this is already happening around school by making sure that lights, monitors and whiteboards are off when the children are out at break and lunchtimes and at the end of the school day.

They have already created a rota for all of the energy saving tasks they do and have organised our next Eco-Team meeting during the week commencing 07/10/2024 to decide what their next focus will be.
