What is Eco Council?

Eco Council is a group of pupils who meet fortnightly to discuss eco friendly and environmental issues within school. There are 2 eco councillors from each year group in EYFS, Key Stage 1 and 2.

Why do we have an Eco Council?

• To ensure our school is eco-friendly and prepares pupils to live with reflection of the environment.
• To make sure each class has a platform to voice their opinions.
• To discuss and raise issues related to the environment.

How do I become an Eco Councillor?

At the beginning of each year, pupils can apply to become an Eco Councillor. Pupils who want to apply to become an Eco Councillor create a poster with the reasons why they would make a good councillor.  Then pupils then vote for their favourite eco councillors.

What happens in the meetings?

We begin each year by completing an environmental review to find out our schools successes and areas for improvement. We then use this to create an action plan for the upcoming year.
