The first Eco Committee at Birchwood Community High School was formed in June 2018. From a student-led recycling programme, to participating in litter picks with primary school children, students have shown great commitment to improving their school and the environment. In September 2020, all the pupils work paid off when they were selected and shortlisted by the Educate Awards North West for the ‘Outstanding Commitment to the Environment’ award. Explaining why the team had been chosen, the Educate Awards said: Birchwood Community High School’s eco-committee is made up of students who care about the environment and want to make the school eco-friendly.
