At Naunton Park Primary School we believe very much in not only teaching our pupils about environmental issues and looking after our planet but we believe in actively involving them to bring about change to create a sustainable and improved future for the world in which we live.

Our Eco Warriors are a team of enthusiastic Year 5 and 6 pupils who work with staff, pupils and families by actively promoting our vision to help the school, our local area and the world to be a healthy and wonderful place for all living things to thrive.

Our Eco Warriors for this academic year 24-25, supported by Mrs Windsor are: Toby Fraine, Emily Kirk, Madeleine Eckford, Keziah Maclannan, Rosie Bolus, Ottilie Betts, Maisie Heywood and Anna Franklyn.

We have plans to:

• Hold a stall at the Winter Fair to raise funds for their next project
• Continue to hold a 'Green Day' for the whole school to raise awareness and promote the message of looking after our planet.
• Promote the use of fruit and vegetable composting at break and lunch times.
• Recycle pens, pencils and other stationery so they aren't ending up in landfill when they could be recycled.
• Encourage more children to litterpick at break and lunch times by providing equipment to those who would like to do so.
