Eco-School Status | Private School London

Eco-club

More than any generation previously, your child will need to stand up and be counted when it comes to the planet. Our eco-club is designed to empower your child with practical tools, developing self-esteem and transferable skills along the way.

How does Eco-club work?

There are two clubs, one each for Middle School (Years 3-5) and Upper School (Years 6-8). Each form nominates an eco-ambassador to represent them at the club. Together the eco-ambassadors organise initiatives to mitigate climate change. These range from educating our school community to making a practical difference – soft activism, if you like, with a focus on the circular economy.

Transferable skills

In addition to the sense of pride gained from contributing to society, your child will learn valuable, transferable skills:

How to make a splash and get attention for a cause
How to start a conversation about a cause
How to have a difficult conversation
How to write a persuasive letter (we recently wrote one to the Head about a dripping tap – we measured the volume of water lost through drips in an hour and did the maths about the cost to the school and the planet).
