Trust Pupil Council
As a Trust, one of our targets for the near future is to devise a net zero strategy; we are developing a trust wide plan that pulls together a wide range of net zero and sustainability activity which has already included making changes to our energy procurement, our waste contracts, our catering contracts, and our ICT strategy.
We have developed a Trust Pupil Council, which is a group of 32 children, made up from two representatives from each of our schools, working together as one team to make environmental improvements across our trust.
The Trust Council are an extremely passionate group of students who meet every half term, there is a new topic and challenge to discuss at each meeting; an overview of our plans and the minutes of our previous meetings are available below. The school representatives feedback to their own school councils and eco councils within their schools.
For 2024-25 we have 3 trust councils aimed to engage children in a variety of topics.
1.Crofty Eco Council
2.Crofty Coastal Crew
3.The Trust Parliament

Kind Edward Mine Visit
In September, our Trust Council visited the King Edward Mine. The aim of the visit was for members of the Council from to learn about the history of Cornish Mining, how it may have or may have not contributed to environmental issues and to learn about the future of Cornish mining. The pupils took part in various workshops throughout the day and even managed to experience being inside of real engine house working. Everybody had a tour of the mine and of the grounds and we listened to a presentation from John Polglase, an ex-miner and teacher from the local area.
