St Gregory's Eco Slogan 
'Green doings = Green Rewards'
St. Gregory’s Eco Council – Saving the Planet One Worm at a Time!
At St. Gregory’s, we’re on a mission to be super green — and not just because we like frogs and broccoli! Our Eco Council is a team of eco-warriors from every year group, chosen by their classmates because they care about the planet and know how to spot a recycling bin from 100 metres away.
They meet regularly (sometimes with biscuits!) to chat about important stuff like rubbish, trees, ponds, and how to stop the Earth from getting too sweaty. They come up with clever plans to make our school greener, cleaner, and more planet-friendly — and yes, they take their jobs very seriously… even if they sometimes wear leaf hats.
What’s the big idea?
We believe even small humans can make a BIG difference. That’s why being “Eco-Aware” is part of our learning from Reception all the way to Year 6. Our pupils learn that:
- Recycling isn’t just for grown-ups
- Climate change is a big deal (and we’re not ignoring it!)
- Thinking about our actions helps us be better planet protectors
- What we do at school can help at home too!
Our Global Green Team
We’ve teamed up with a school in Kenya to share ideas, stories, and eco-adventures. Together, we learn how climate change affects everyone — whether you live near lions or Lancashire. We talk, we reflect, and we try to be the change the world needs (with a little help from compost).
Nature Nerds Unite!
Our school grounds are like a mini jungle — with a pond, woodland, and even bird boxes made by the children! They love spotting frogs, naming trees, and watching the seasons change (especially when it snows and everything turns into a penguin playground).
Change4Life Club – AKA The Muddy Boot Brigade
In Years 5 and 6, our Change4Life club gets stuck into gardening, tidying, planting, and growing veggies. It’s hard work (especially when the carrots refuse to grow straight), but it builds Resilience and makes our school look blooming lovely.
So if you see a pupil with muddy hands, a clipboard, and a determined look in their eye — they’re probably on the Eco Council. Or they’ve just wrestled a worm. Either way, they’re helping save the planet, one leaf at a time.
Eco Action Plan
Fair Trade
St. Gregory's has long supported the use of Fair Trade products and the children learn about its importance in lessons. Events are held each year to highlight global issues and what we can do to help.
