The School Eco Council is made of children from each class who care about the school and the wider environment. The children meet half-termly with Miss Lawton and discuss what they would like to see happen in school and work together to promote and develop sustainability throughout our school so we can all be a little more eco-friendly. Over the course of the year, we will lead campaigns in the school to avoid waste, encourage recycling and save resources such as water and electricity. Another role of the Eco Council is to raise awareness within the school community of the ongoing climate crisis and the importance of looking after our environment.
