Eco Warriors

Welcome! This page will tell you about our Eco Warriors and some of the work we are doing. Our Eco Warriors work hard to encourage the rest of the school to become more eco-friendly. 

 

What do our Eco Warriors do?
Being an Eco Warrior is an ideal opportunity for our pupils to get more involved in the way our school is run and help us to be more environmentally friendly. It provides opportunities for pupils to communicate their feelings as well as influence decisions that are made.  Eco Warriors take on the responsibility of expressing their own views, but also the views of their peers as well as passing on information from eco meetings. As an Eco Warrior, pupils have the opportunity to develop skills such as confidence, communication and negotiation.


Our Eco Warriors help to care for our school environment: they help others to follow our eco-code, monitor our energy use in the school, and encourage teachers and children to recycle. Eco Warriors will take part in discussions and votes and feedback any relevant information to their class. Members will meet regularly as a group to discuss and implement their ideas.

 

We have an Eco Warrior team which comprises of two representatives elected from each class in Years 1 – 6. The team meets every half term to discuss current issues around the 10 elements and how they may be addressed in school.

 

Our mission is to achieve the 'Green Flag' Award.  To do this we need to be able to to be seen to be addressing the following ten elements:

 

  • Energy
  • Litter
  • School grounds
  • Waste 
  • Global perspectives
  • Biodiversity
  • Water
  • Healthy living
  • Transport
  • Marine

 

Every new project undertaken at school takes environmental consequences into consideration as we try to minimise the impact on our environment.
