Eco Committee

Our Eco Committee are made up of children from Year 2 to Year 6 who take responsibility for spreading awareness within school and our local community on ways to help our environment.  

At Pilsley, our children don’t just learn about making a difference — they lead it. Pupils play an active role in shaping the future of our school. The Eco Committee meets regularly and gives children a powerful voice, sharing their peers’ ideas and leading positive change to help our school stay environmentally friendly. Eco councillors also lead collective worship and support community events — inspiring others and showing that even small actions can make a big difference. 

As a team, we work hard on a variety of different projects.

Some of the work we have completed over the last few years have been:  

• Raising awareness: The Eco Committee lead regular assemblies to raise awareness of issues and inform pupils of the work they are undertaking. 

• Energy: The Eco Committee have ensured that classrooms in school have posters and signs reminding / pupils and staff to turn off electrical devices when not in use.   

This year, our Eco Committee has centred its work on two key themes: Biodiversity & Nature and Global Citizenship. These focus areas have guided our projects and discussions.

Global Citizenship 

 We are proud of our strong partnership with the British School in Quito, Ecuador — a national leader in sustainability and climate action. Their commitment to environmental stewardship has inspired us from across the globe. From Meat-Free Mondays and the creation of a thriving bee garden, to the installation of solar panels and their innovative Botellas de Amor recycling initiative.
