At St Clare’s we want to do our best to look after our planet. We have a very active Eco Council and are proud holders of the green flag award.
Every year children for each year group ae elected for fulfil the role. They can be easily identified around school as they wear their Eco Council badges proudly.
The Eco Council attend meetings every 3 weeks and run various campaigns and projects. For example we have ‘Cut you Carbon’ every November – not only does this encourage good habits and ultimately reduce our carbon footprint, it also saves us and our families money.
