'BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS AND DO THE WORK.'

1 Chronicles 28:20

We are the Sneinton Eco Council 2022-23

Our role in school is to raise awareness of climate change, deforestation, saving energy, recycling, composting, littering and planting around school.

We meet once a fortnight on a Wednesday afternoon in the pupil leadership room to hold our committee meetings, discuss and explore eco issues and how we can address them as a school community.

Our committee consists of 17 children, Mrs Massey (Eco Lead), Mr Lowe, Mrs Pruszak, Mrs Shilcock and Mrs Lack, our Catering Manager.

Please contact Mrs Massey for more details.
