Planet Power

The power of changing the world! 

Planet Power is a peer led approach to tackle environmental issues and sustainability. 


We are delighted to announce that here at Alder Tree Primary we are working towards becoming a Green Flag Eco School. Our Planet Power team is providing volunteering opportunities for pupils who are willing to act now to create a brighter, more sustainable future. 


As part of Planet Power we: 

  • Care about our planet 
  • Want to make a difference

Our Planet Power Ambassadors

Planet Power is led by Kayla and Charlie who are both in Year 6 at Alder Tree Primary Academy. They work in collaboration with representatives from all other year groups to drive rapid eco related change. 


My name is Kyla, and I am extremely excited to help our school become even more eco-friendly. I love to learn about wildlife, and I think it would be a good idea to create a space in our school where I share my love and knowledge about wildlife and plants to help grow a stronger eco-committee in school. I look forward to working alongside the planet power team to help improve our environment. 

My name is Charlie, and I am here to help make a nice, eco-friendly school. I love nature and I want the children in our school to be more caring about our planet. I am ready to help make our school a cleaner and more environmentally friendly space that children can enjoy. I love to work with others and think I will do a great job of teaching younger children how they can protect our planet.
