Eco Committee
A welcome from Bradley, Year 6, an Eco-Committee member.
At Eyke C of E Primary School the Eco Committee obtain what our school needs to create a positive impact in our surrounding environment and in our community. This would never have been possible without Mrs Frost, who started our committee in 2021 and Miss Fairweather who now runs the committee. As we mentioned, the Eco Committee Specialises in the environment. The Eco Committee creates awareness about litter and batteries and how they can harm the environment. Our target is to teach about the wider world, not just school life!
We are a small school but we know there are 12 million young people in England and if each person completed one environmental action it would make a huge difference.
Young people look at the world differently and have fantastic ideas that could help combat climate change now and in the future.
We want to encourage everyone to make better choices to protect our planet.
Belonging to the Eco Committee means we can also develop new skills, acquire lots of knowledge and gain confidence.
Eco Schools Green Flag
We are proud to have achieved an Eco-Schools Green Flag in 2022 and in 2023. Achieving the award was the culmination of a seven step process driven by the Eco Committee, Mrs Frost, Miss Fairweather and governors, Catherine Whitmore and Danielle Waites. They have had an enormous impact on the whole school's understanding of environmental issues and helped everyone work together on initiatives.

Creating a Wildlife Area
The Eco Committee are creating a wildlife area to improve the school grounds and improve biodiversity. We also hope it will educate the school about how they can support biodiversity, especially wildlife, and care for our local environment.
Step 1
Choose an area. We have chosen the pond area because it has not been looked after so is overgrown and full of rubbish.
Step 2
Create a plan - in our committee meeting we grew aerial plans of the area and planned the what we needed to improve and introduce.
Step 3
Clear the pond and clear the area.
