Eco Council

Our Mission

Think Global, Act Local

Our eco mission at Victoria Primary Academy is to develop knowledge and habits that will help transform our world. We have planned our mission in line with the 17 UN sustainability goals found here.

Our Team & What We Do

Every year, one of the most exciting moments in our school calendar is electing our brand-new Eco Council. It is always wonderful to hear the children share their ideas and talk so passionately about why they want to look after our planet and represent their classes. Once elected, these enthusiastic students take on a really special role. They become our green leaders, helping to inspire the rest of the school to think about the environment and make sustainable choices every day.

But our Eco Councillors aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in, either! You will often see them out and about on the school grounds, helping to pick up litter and keeping our spaces tidy and welcoming. They have also been busy making bright posters to remind both teachers and classmates to switch off lights and interactive boards when they leave a room.

The council meets every half term to catch up, share feedback and bring forward any great ideas or worries raised by their peers. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and the brilliant example they set for our whole school community.

We did it!

Huge congratulations to our school community! For going above and beyond to protect our planet, Victoria Primary Academy has officially been awarded the prestigious Eco-Schools Green Flag! We couldn’t be prouder of our students’ hard work and dedication to making a real difference.
