Eco-Council

What is Eco-Council?

The Eco-Council is a group of pupils who meet each month to discuss eco-friendly and environmental issues within school which prepares children to live their future lives with consideration for global issues. There are two eco-councillors from each years group of Y1 - Y6.

Why do we have an Eco Council?

To ensure our school is eco-friendly and prepares pupils to live with reflection of the environment.

To make sure each class has a platform to voice their opinions.

To discuss and raise issues related to the environment.

How do I become an Eco Councillor?

At the beginning of each year, pupils can apply to become an Eco-Councillor. Key Stage 1 pupils discuss with their teacher why they would like to become an Eco Councillor and teachers choose the successful applicants. Key Stage 2 pupils who want to apply to become an Eco-Councillor, present themselves to the Key Stage 2 pupils with the reasons why they would make a good councillor.  Then pupils then vote for their favourite eco councillor.

What have the Eco-Council done this year?

Planted seeds saplings which were donated by The Woodland Trust to create a new woodland area to co-incide with the new school being built.
