The committee aim to meet at least every half term to discuss their ongoing projects and to brainstorm ideas for new initiatives. They look at everyday activities at school and consider the changes we as a community can make to help our environment. 

As part of the Eco Schools framework, the Eco Committee complete an Environmental Review at the beginning of each school year to identify the key topics that they would like to focus their efforts into making improvements in. The current topics are: Waste, Water, Litter, Energy and Marine. The Eco Committee brainstormed ideas and together they created our school's Environmental Action Plan. Throughout the school year the group monitors and evaluates their projects and activities. while continuously updating their action plan accordingly.
