Hope Academy joins Eco Schools!

ECO-COMMITTEE

Eco-Schools provides a simple framework to help make sustainability an integral part of school life. It enhances the curriculum and gets the whole school united behind something important.

Our first step is to form an ECO-COMMITTEE.

Conduct an ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.

Then develop an ACTION PLAN.

Interested pupils should volunteer to join the committee. First tell your Form Tutor and Head of House. Representatives from each House will be elected and represent the Academy's Eco - Committee.

The ECO COMMITTEE will meet every half term to:

·         Ensure that the whole school is aware of the Eco-Schools programme

·         Take the lead in carrying out the Environmental Review

·         Ensure that everyone in the school community is represented in the decision-making process (as far as possible)

·         Provide a link between pupils, teachers, senior management team, governors and the whole school community

·         Take the lead in delivering the Eco-Schools Action Plan

The first task the Eco-Committee will complete is an Environmental Review of the school. Conducting this review enables the Eco-Committee to investigate what the school is doing well at and what areas might need to be worked on. This in turn will help guide our Action Plan and what topics we will choose to focus on.
