Eco Council 2025-26

Welcome to Ysgol Pen-y-Bryn’s Eco Council page for 2025-26!

This year marks an important step forward for our Eco Council as we continue working towards regaining our Green Flag Award. Following a period of transition earlier in the year, we are proud to say that we are firmly back on track and fully committed to re-establishing Ysgol Pen-y-Bryn as a leading eco-friendly school.

We have successfully re-established our Eco Code, formed our dedicated Eco Committee, organised our Eco timetable, and strengthened our paper recycling systems across the school. Thanks to the enthusiasm and determination of our Eco Councillors, we are making excellent progress towards achieving our goals.

Our Focus Areas This Year

Working Towards the Green Flag Award

Regaining our Green Flag remains our main priority. We are continuing to build on previous successes while ensuring that all required elements are firmly embedded within school life.

 

Food Waste at Breaktimes

This year, we are placing a strong focus on reducing food waste during breaktimes. The Eco Committee is raising awareness amongst pupils about making responsible choices and reducing unnecessary waste, helping us become a more sustainable school community.

 

Recycling Improvements

The Eco Committee has successfully fundraised for additional paper recycling bins, bringing us closer to becoming a fully eco-friendly school. We are now raising awareness about introducing improved recycling systems within the infant department to ensure consistency across the whole school.

 

Improving Our School Grounds

Our Eco Councillors are passionate about caring for our outdoor environment. This year, we will be organising more outdoor opportunities to tidy and enhance our school grounds, including weeding, de-shrubbing and planting trees. We are especially excited that several trees, which have been carefully growing in pots, are now ready to be planted permanently around the school grounds to support biodiversity and reduce our carbon footprint.

 

Community Involvement

Our Eco Committee has expressed a strong desire to extend their impact beyond the school gates. We hope to organise local community litter-picking events, as well as trips to nearby woodland and beach areas to carry out litter picks. These opportunities will allow our pupils to connect with the wider community and demonstrate our school’s commitment to protecting and improving the natural world.

 

Our goal continues to be nurturing environmentally responsible, confident and proactive pupils who understand the importance of caring for our planet. Through teamwork, determination and enthusiasm, we are working hard to ensure Ysgol Pen-y-Bryn remains a shining example of sustainability within our community.

Stay tuned for updates on our progress throughout the year!
