Eco Club
Our school helps us to walk with Jesus, to be the best that we can be. Through God’s love and guidance, we create an ethos of shared endeavour, friendship and co-operation to help us flourish academically, emotionally and spiritually.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13

2021-2022 Green Mentors
Our Green Mentors are a group of five Y6 children and six Y5 children, who are trying to inspire the citizens of our school and country to improve how they are treating the environment. Mrs. Green started with asking for applications from our year 6 children, who had to research and fill in an application form to prove that they had the right skills and commitment. Here are some examples:
Each member of parliament then had to campaign to the whole school to show why they would make a great Leader for our group. After holding a whole school vote, our new leader of the group was chosen. Here are some pictures and a video of the process:
