Eco-council and Eco-warriors
What is an Eco School?
Our Eco-council and Eco-warriors believe that we are all Stewards of God's Creation and are actively encouraged to engage with the environment and take opportunities to protect it
Each class, from Pre-school to Y6 nominated children to be Eco-warriors. These children monitor our recycling and energy consumption in school.
Our Eco-council is made up of children who may have been Eco-warriors in the past, each year they will choose an eco - project for the school year and through regular meetings they learn to make democratic decisions and how to respect the opinions of others

RSPB Big Schools Birdwatch 2026
Today we took part in the RSPB Big Schools Birdwatch. We do this every year as part of our Citizen Science projects. We are mapping the biodiversity of our school site and helping to identify species that may be at risk. We saw lots of sparrows but no seagulls this year, I wonder where they went? The RSPB will share their findings later in the year.
We are delighted to share that we recently received a truly heart-warming letter from a school in the Philippines. Their message, filled with gratitude and a shared commitment to protecting our planet, inspired many thoughtful conversations within our Eco-Council. Motivated by this connection across the globe, our Eco-Council decided to take action closer to home. They have written an official letter to the Secretary of State for Energy, expressing our school community’s support for sustainable initiatives and encouraging continued investment in environmentally responsible policies. Thanks to the enthusiasm of Mrs Morris, and involvement of our pupils, staff, and families, we are proud to continue supporting this meaningful tree-planting initiative. It’s wonderful to see how international partnerships and shared environmental goals can spark real action. Together, we are helping to make a positive difference for our planet—one tree, one letter, and one inspired student at a time.
Our Eco-council visited the Black Country Foodbank today to learn about all the amazing things they do to help the local community. You asked lots of thoughtful questions and were great ambassadors for our school!
Meet our Eco-council for this school year. They are ready to help us look after our school, the local community and the wider world 🌎 I am looking forward to working with you all x
Visit to the Black Country Foodbank 25th September 2025
Today the Eco-council visited the Black Country Foodbank to learn about all the wonderful work they do to help our local community. Not only do they supply emergency food parcels to those in need, they also create recipe bags with everything you need to cook a healthy nutritional meal. We found out that the charity started out on one kitchen table and has grown to cover the whole of the Black Country!
You asked thoughtful questions and were great ambassadors for our school. Well done x

MEET OUR NEW ECO-COUNCIL
Did you know that it takes over 80 years for a battery to bio-degrade in a landfill site? The Eco-council have launched this years battery recycling campaign by highlighting our recycling cente located in the reception area of school.
They are very busy working on their action plan for 2024/2025.
Now that our Mary Garden has had a fab makeover, our Y2 Eco-warriors have been busy bees, planting bulbs for Spring. We are all looking forward to a lovely display next year and all the flowers are bee friendly too!
Mrs Morris visits the Houses of Parliament
Last year a group of charities got together to promote a campaign called Climate Justice for all. Through our children's artwork, displayed in Portcullis House, we aim to raise awareness of the inequalities in dealing with Climate Change around the world. Mrs M was lucky to be invited to view the exhibition This year the exhibition will take place at the end of January and we are pleased to say we have been asked to take part again!
20th January 2025 Big School's Birdwatch
Today we took part in the RSPB Schools Birdwatch. This citizen science project collects data from schools around the country and maps the population and health of our native birds. Later this year we'll find out the most popular bird around our schools. Today we saw Magpies, Robins, lots of Pigeons and even a little Wren. We are so lucky to have such a diversity around our school.
24th January 2025 Climate Justice Exhibition
Our artwork has been chosen to be displayed at the Climate Justice exhibition in London. The Prime Minister and all MP's will be invited to view the work by schools and colleges in Britain. Well done boys, you have turned your concern for our planet into action and small voices can make big changes. True Stewards of God's Creation 🙏
Our artwork is off to the Houses of Parliament for a special exhibition. Schools aim to highlight the injustice towards the poorest communities as a result of Climate Change and share hope to make our community and the world a better place. Well done boys, we are really proud of you! 🥳🎉

Philippines Day
Today we wore the colours of the Philippines flag to celebrate the culture of the area and support a group of people who, despite hurricanes and cyclones, have managed to plant over 35,000 native trees to replace those in the rainforest cut down by illegal logging. The powerpoint below will explain why this is so important to the biodiversity of the rainforest.
