As part of our commitment to encouraging purposeful writing, children and their families were invited to take part in a short home writing challenge. The task was to write a brief letter explaining why they would be a good Eco Warrior. This gave children a meaningful reason to write, helping them understand that writing can be used to express ideas, opinions and aspirations.

​

The Eco Council is made up of children from across the school who are chosen, following their application, to create a sustainable 'eco-friendly' school. The opportunity to apply was open to all children, ensuring fairness and inclusion. Completed letters were posted into a special postbox in the school foyer.

​

All letters were read by Mr Naylor, Mr Cavanagh and Mr Hesketh (Health and Safety Director). 

​

The Eco Council meets regularly with staff to share ideas, suggest improvements to school life and contribute to decisions that benefit the whole school community. Through this process, children develop confidence, communication skills and a strong sense of responsibility. This initiative also supports our work on Fundamental British Values, particularly democracy and individual liberty, by helping children understand the importance of having a voice, making choices and working together for the good of everyone.
