The Eco Council is a group of elected children from across the school. Our aim is to address environmental issues and promote sustainability by ensuring that all members of the school community reduce waste and lower energy consumption. Miss Jenkins and Mrs Jackman are the grown-ups who work with us to help us in our eco work! 

 

We hold regular meetings and do regular jobs in and around school. We help with litter picking around the school grounds and collect fruit and vegetable waste from each classroom and add it to large compost bins in our school grounds. 

We have 75 Solar panels fitted on our roof. This helps us to reduce our electricity bill and save the planet by getting some power from the sun. We are trying to use less electricity in school too, by turning lights, projectors and screens off when they are not in use. 

We are working towards achieving the ECO schools Green Flag. This is a whole school effort and we are focusing on three Eco areas. 

Our three main areas of focus have been -

• Biodiversity
• Waste
• Energy

We have been developing our woodland area so that all children across the school can access the woodland area and work and play outside more.
