Welcome to our page! We are the St Francis Eco Ambassadors, and we are enthusiastic and want to ensure we all play our part in looking after our planet.
Eco Ambassadors
The Eco Ambassadors at St Francis Catholic Primary School are a body of six pupils from Year 1-6 that strive to help their peers learn about the world and promote how we can take care of the Earth.
We aim to do this by working closely with the Eco Schools programme, led by the Eco committees made up of staff and pupils.
Eco Ambassador Representatives for 2024-25
Following our recycling poster competition, the representatives this year are as follows:
We are very pleased to announce that we have been successful in meeting the requirements for the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award .
The awarding body were very impressed when they reviewed our application and noted the following:
'Completing the Environmental Review allowed your Eco-Committee to recognise the positive changes that your school has already made and gain an appreciation of the future impacts that they can create.'
'Your Action Plan contains a diverse range of activities aimed at creating positive behaviours, making an immediate difference to your local environment, and expanding your Eco-Schools’ initiatives into your local community.
'The curriculum examples provided are great examples of environmental education, they are practical and fun with a real-life context that is very relevant to pupils in your school. We especially enjoyed seeing the fantastic examples of pupil’s work that were uploaded to your application. These examples really illustrate how learning with an environmental context can lead to fantastic outcomes.'
Your Eco-Committee have used an impressive variety of methods to promote sustainability and keep their school community informed about their Eco-Schools’ initiatives throughout the academic year. You have also worked with a wide variety of individuals, organisations, and experts during your Eco-Schools’ journey. This can be difficult to organise but will have massively benefitted and enriched your Eco-Schools’ work.'
Your Eco-Code is beautifully designed, with clear goals that relate to your achievements and future aspirations. It’s a great manifestation of your values and accomplishments!'
'Congratulations! Your application truly stood out, and we’re thrilled to award you an Eco-Schools’ Green Flag with Distinction! Keep up the fantastic work next year!'
We would like to say a massive thank you to Morley Glass and Glazing for their very generous donation of £500 to support and enhance our recycling projects within school.
Over the next few weeks the Eco Committee will be choosing our first purchase of recycling bins for each classroom.
