Welcome to the Eco Council's page! This year we aim to gain the Green Flag Award, so stay tuned!! 

Environmental Review Summary

Positives  

• Some trees in the school grounds  

• We try to conserve energy as much as possible  

• Pupils are encouraged to eat healthily  

• We have an anti-bulling policy  

• We use recycled materials

Areas of improvement  

• We currently do not have a vegetable garden   

• Not all students know the effects of climate change  

• Our school grounds are not free from litter  

• We do not have enough bins in the playground  

• There are not many places to sit and talk in the tennis courts  

• We do not have a lot of opportunities to learn outside – particularly in KS2 

• The school wastes a lot of paper  

Our major topic this year is Outdoor Learning. We aim to improve the school grounds and have more pupils learning outside the classroom. To get more KS2 pupils learning outside, Mrs Donnelly will set up a Gardening Club.

Litter is one of our minor topics. We aim to ensure our school is as litter free as possible. We will do this by taking part in the Litter Less Campaign, Big Spring Clean and making the school more aware of the effects of litter. 

Waste is our other minor topic. Waste or rubbish is what people throw away because they no longer need it or want it. Almost everything we do creates waste and as a society we are currently producing more waste than ever before. This is why we need to start thinking about resource efficiency. We aim to encourage all classes to reuse paper with the use of scrap paper trays and also encourage pupils to reuse or upcycle their clothing!
