It all began when Mrs Blackwell our Eco Coordinator spoke to Mr McConville and the senior management team about the amazing opportunities that come along with being an Eco-Friendly school. She explained that as well as helping the environment, the Eco-Schools programme would benefit the pupils at our school. It is designed to empower pupils, raise environmental awareness, improve the school environment and create financial savings. It is pupil-led allowing our children to take ownership of environmental projects. It also would provide our school with many real-life and contextual learning opportunities that link to the National Curriculum. Furthermore, it provides excellent evidence towards the requirements for, Defining spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, enabling children to thrive.
Once she had been given the green light to go ahead, she excited the children, by explaining all about the different projects that we could take part in, along with the awards that our school could gain, if we commit to doing it well. Anyone who wanted to know more could ask questions and everyone who wanted to be considered to lead this amazing team, as a committee member, could write a letter explaining why they thought that they would be good at this and what skills /qualities they could bring to the team in order to be successful.
We are delighted to announce that we have formed our Eco Committee.
