Our Eco Club are democratically elected to champion the environment in both the school and wider community. They ensure that we all follow three basic rules:

Recycle

Reduce

Reuse

Our Ecoheads

When the children first met they decided that they wanted a name that was unique and demonstrated what the committee was all about. They chose the name 'Ecoheads' as during meetings everyone 'puts their heads together' to think of the best actions that we can take to improve the environment that we live in.

Air Awareness - March 2022

Useful Fact

Did you know that just by walking to school you will be reducing your exposure to air pollution?
Air pollution inside the vehicle is often double what someone walking the same route will be exposed to. This is because the polluted air gets trapped inside the car with no dispersal factors such as sunlight and wind.
You can improve that even more by walking quieter, less polluted routes that you could not take in the car such as footpaths and walking only routes. It is also a great way to help get your minimum requirement of daily exercise, making you even healthier.

Walk to school month

- October 2020

Week commencing 5^th October we will be promoting a national campaign for walking to school. This year the theme is ‘Health and Well-being’ and the benefits that walking can bring for both physical and mental health which is so important during these unprecedented times.

We appreciate not everyone can walk all the way to school with some living too far away but you could always park a few streets away and walk the last bit of your journey. At the end of each week during October, each class shall conduct an audit to monitor how many children have walked to school. A certificate shall then be awarded to the class who has the most children walking to school.

Below are links to video animations to help promote the campaign.

The first one is about an imaginary journey to school through the jungle: https://youtu.be/jC0URHoQga8
