Eco-Council
We were very excited to achieve the Green Flag Award with a Merit last academic year (2024 - 2025)
This year, the Eco- Council have carried out a survey of the school and completed an audit. They have written their action plan based on the information they found out and we are hoping to achieve the Green Flag Award again this year.
We have uploaded our action plan below.
Eco Awareness Fortnight
Our recent Eco Awareness Fortnight was a tremendous success and provided children with a fantastic opportunity to learn about sustainability, wildlife, and caring for our planet through a wide range of engaging activities.
Throughout the fortnight, pupils took part in a variety of creative eco-themed projects. Children transformed old books into fabulous hedgehog sculptures, created bug hotels in a mug to support local minibeasts and recycled plastic bottles into colourful jellyfish. These hands-on activities encouraged creativity while highlighting the importance of reusing and repurposing materials.
We were also delighted to welcome a number of inspiring visitors who shared their expertise and passion with the children. The children enjoyed learning about sustainability, renewable energy, solar power and the fascinating world of minibeasts, helping them to develop a deeper understanding of how small actions can make a big difference to our environment.
The enthusiasm shown by the children throughout the fortnight was truly wonderful. Their curiosity, creativity, and commitment to protecting the planet made the event a memorable experience for everyone involved. We would like to thank all of our visitors, staff, and families for supporting this valuable learning opportunity and helping to make Eco Awareness Fortnight such a resounding success.
Green Dragon Eco Challenge
As part of our Eco Awareness Fortnight, the children were invited to take part in the Green Dragon Eco Challenge. This involved creating something new using recycled materials. We were delighted to receive a large number of entries and were incredibly impressed by the creativity, imagination and effort shown in the children's creations.
Our Eco-Council have re-launched a crisp packet project. They have asked the children to bring in old crisp packets and then the packets are going to be ironed together to create blankets for the homeless.
