Eco-Committee

The Eco-Committee was set up in 2021 to combat environmental issues within our school. We have been up to lots of exciting things so please have a look through this page to find out what we have been up to.

Clapgate’s Eco-Committee

2023 – 2024

This year, our wonderful Eco Committee is made up of seven year-six children who work hard to improve the school environment and keep Clapgate clean! They continue to implement the ‘Greenest Classroom of the Week’ award. The children undertake regular checks of the classrooms and school corridors to ensure that lights are switched off when not in use, bins are being used properly and litter is being picked up. 

2022-2023

The Eco-Committee this year have focused on reducing the school’s energy usage and waste through many initiatives. Made up of five year 6 children, they have dedicated their break times to checking that classes are making sure their lights and boards are switched off when not in use. The Eco-Committee take lead of ‘Greenest Classroom of the Week’ and award the winners in our weekly celebration assembly.

2021-2022

Over the year, we will be working towards achieving a Green Flag award for creating a sustainable, environmentally friendly and energy-saving school. We have already implemented some great changes across school including our ‘Greenest Classroom of the Week’ award. Through meeting weekly, we aim to work towards set targets to improve our water and energy wastage across school. 

In February, we visited Yorkshire Water Treatment Centre, in Headingley. We had a tour of the facilities and learned about the filtering process. We will be using the knowledge we have gained to deliver an assembly to educate other children on the issues surrounding water wastage.
