At St Dennis Primary Academy, the community and environment are important to us and are therefore key drivers of our curriculum.

We have set up an Eco Council made up of children who are keen to look after the school environment and the planet.  

Eco Council work so hard to protect the environment. They are very proud to have been awarded Eco School's Green Flag award for the last four years.

Eco Council meet every week with Mrs Bateson and focus on a project based on one of the following topics:

Biodiversity – Caring for all plants, animals and insects.

Energy – Reducing energy use and investigating greener energy sources.

Global Citizenship – Working with others on local and global issues.

Healthy Living – improving mental and physical well-being.

Litter – Reducing the amount of litter in your local area.

Marine – Protecting all rivers, canals, lakes and oceans.

School Grounds – Enhancing where you work and play.

Transport – Finding more environmentally-friendly ways to travel.

Waste – Refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, recycle.

Water – Protecting an important natural resource.

Eco Council have their own display board where they have their photos so everyone knows who they are, share the current project they are working on and the minutes from their weekly meetings. 

Our Eco Council encourage their classmates to follow the St Dennis Eco Code that they created.
