🌱 Pupil Eco-Committee

At our school, we believe that everyone has a part to play in protecting our planet — and our pupils are leading the way through the Pupil Eco-Committee.

The Eco-Committee is a group of environmentally-minded pupils from across the school who are passionate about making a difference. Their role is to help the school achieve the aims set out in our Climate Action Plan, ensuring we become a more sustainable, environmentally responsible community.

🌍 What Do the Eco-Committee Do?

The Eco-Committee work closely with staff and the wider school community to:

• Raise awareness of environmental issues and promote sustainable habits across the school.

• Lead initiatives such as litter picks, recycling drives, and energy-saving campaigns.

• Monitor progress on the school’s Climate Action Plan and suggest new ideas to meet our goals.

• Encourage pupil voice, giving all students a say in how we can protect the planet together.

• Work on projects that support our key climate goals, such as reducing waste, improving biodiversity, and cutting carbon emissions.

🛠 Supporting the Climate Action Plan

Our Climate Action Plan sets out clear, practical steps for reducing the school's environmental impact. The Eco-Committee plays a key role in helping us take action in areas such as:

• Energy Use – promoting ways to save energy and reduce our carbon footprint.

• Waste Reduction – encouraging recycling, reusing materials, and reducing single-use plastics.

• Active Travel – supporting walking, cycling, and other sustainable ways of getting to school.

• School Grounds – improving green spaces, planting trees, and protecting local wildlife.

• Curriculum Links – helping to embed climate education into everyday learning.

By working together, the Pupil Eco-Committee helps ensure that climate action is more than a policy – it becomes a way of life at our school.
