Global Committee

The Global Committee are working hard to link our school to the wider world – through our eco work and link with schools in India. An elected representative from each class meet on a regular basis to monitor and make further decisions about our global journey. The children greatly enjoy making decisions and informing and guiding the school towards our final goal.  

The global committee also work on the Eco-schools programme.

Eco-Schools is a global programme, empowering children to drive change and improve their environmental awareness though helping to make sustainability an integral part of school life. We are working on the EcoSchools programme and the children are really keen to make to drive the change at Scargill. 

Our current target areas are: Biodiversity, School Grounds and Global Citizenship. 

We will are looking to improve our wildlife area and are discussing ways of fundraising for this area and environmental, wildlife and animal welfare causes.

 

In June 2020 we were awarded the Eco Schools Bronze Award in recognition of our work towards becoming sustainable and environmentally friendly school.

In June 2022 we worked with Morrisons Community Champion to collect tins for local food banks and they kindly donated a voucher to spend on gardening supplies in store.
In January 2022, the Global Committee planted 5 fruit trees which we received from The Tree Council. We are really excited to watch them grow over the coming years.

During the Covid 19 lockdown and partial school closure we organised a Walk to Kolkata event and raised £450 to support Cathedral Relief Service's Covid-19 emergency appeal.
