Eco Schools

Welcome to our Eco club page

 

 

The Priory Catholic Eco club runs every Thursday from 3:15

until 4:30 with Mrs Mucha and Miss Evans. 

We are blessed with large and beautiful grounds surrounding our school to nurture and look after. We are also very proud to have extremely dedicated children, who enjoy looking after all of our habitats around the school and keeping it 'buzzing' with wildlife. 

It is thanks you all your hard work that we have achieved our Gold Eco Schools status. 

Keep an eye on our page for lots of updates and pictures of all our fun seasonal activities and how we help the school and our local community stay green!
