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 

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!

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!

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.
