Broadhempston Primary School

Eco Council

At our school, we are passionate about looking after the environment, and our Eco Group plays a key role in helping us do just that.

Children who are interested in joining apply to be part of the group and a team is chosen to represent the school. Together, they take responsibility for caring for our planet and encouraging others to do the same.

The Eco Group works on an action plan based on important environmental themes such as recycling, saving energy, reducing waste, protecting nature and looking after our school grounds. They share ideas, set goals, and lead projects that everyone in the school can get involved in.

One of their big aims is to achieve the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award which shows that our whole school community is committed to being more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Through this work, children learn how small changes can make a big difference. They also become leaders in protecting the environment, inspiring others to take action and helping our school to be a greener, cleaner place.

The Eco Committee made bird feeders using bird seed and lard. They then put these up around the park. This links in to our theme BIODIVERSITY and SCHOOL GROUNDS.
Sycamore class and the KS2 Eco committee did an amazing job weeding the beds by the Village Hall with the help of Angela from Food for Thought. We’ll be ready to plant soon. We were so impressed with how much the children got done in just 2 x 40 minute slots. Excellent work everyone!
