NOMINATE YOUR STUDENT AMBASSADOR OF THE YEAR

The Eco Awards are back and bigger than ever in 2024!

PECT’s annual Eco Awards is an opportunity for primary & secondary schools to come together and take part in practical hands-on activities to inspire new ideas and projects to take back to school. Accompanying staff will get to meet other providers and schools to further extend partnership working.

This year’s event will be taking place at the Key Theatre Peterborough on Thursday 23th May 2024 and will follow the same format as previous years, but will offer brand new and exciting activities. The positive feedback we have received from past Eco-Awards has demonstrated to us how valued the event is by both schools and students and so we are pleased to be back for another year.

Please note, due to limited capacity schools are limited to 6 students and 2 accompanying staff.

St John Fisher Secondary: Recycling Ambassadors

“The Eco-warriors have been on a roll this year! From implementing crisp packet bins and working tirelessly in the sensory garden to finish the pond, this year they also converted the newsletter from paper to electronic and organised several litter-picking sessions”

St Augustine’s Primary: Book Bus

“At St Augustine’s, we have fulfilled a 10 year dream of converting an old coach into a ‘Book Bus’; a library and reading area for our children to use, inspiring a love of reading.  At the very beginning, we knew we wanted this to be a sustainable project. “

Ravensthorpe Primary: Sustainable Outdoor Learning 

“We have been working in partnership with the WestRaven Community Garden to create a beautiful space for all. We enjoy activities in the garden area every day and utilise the space in the afternoons when we have children from Virtual School attending.  We have worked with PECT recently in the Community Garden when the children from our school helped to construct a wildlife wall for insects and planted wildflower seeds”

Southfields Primary School: School Gardens

“Our children have been enjoying getting back to normality and the garden areas in school have been so beneficial to our mental health and well-being. Reception have created their own gardening area, we have built eco fences and our school allotment is once again up and running”

Northborough Primary School: Site Development

“Through our Eco Charter work with PECT, we have been able to develop our outdoor space. We are creating nature corridors to enhance biodiversity and attract more wildlife to the site, planting a cathedral of trees for the children to be able to take part in outdoor lessons, a den building area for free play, as well as areas that will be left for nature to thrive in. “
