Eco Council

The Eco council is a pupil led committee leading the school to be eco conscious raising behaviour changing awareness and empowering young people to make greener choices and take action.

Two students from each class are annually elected to be on the Eco council, creating a team of 12 passionate students who want to make a difference delivering projects to make the school more sustainable, develop environmentally and grow a love for learning about nature and how to respect our world.

The Eco council monitor and come up with ideas to help with using less energy, cutting carbon, reducing waste and single use plastics making the school a greener and healthier place. The council supports students to think about their actions and choices creating confident, thoughtful students making an impact on their future and inspiring others to make greener choices.

The Eco council this year are keen to support nature, plant more trees, create an orchard and are campaigning and making plans for a school pond. They want to see the school reducing the use of plastic and recycle and reuse wherever possible. The committee have suggested we can do this by recycling and reusing Halloween costumes , World Book Day outfits and Christmas jumpers. The Eco council will also be supporting the Great British Bird Watch and Butterfly Watch.
