2022-2023
Our eco warriors have earned an international accreditation, recognising their amazing work in making their school more environmentally friendly and raising eco-awareness in fellow pupils.
The Eco-Schools programme was established in 1994 and is now delivered in more than 70 countries across the globe. More than 1 million pupils attended an Eco-School in England in 2022-23.
Our pupils first formed an Eco-Committee and named themselves the eco warriors. Then they conducted an environmental review, assessing how eco-friendly their school is. They reviewed everything from biodiversity within their school grounds to how pupils and staff members travel to school. Building on their findings, the pupils planned a year of action designed to advance their school’s green credentials, improve their local environment, and protect our planet.
The eco warriors connected their work to 3 Eco-Schools topics: biodiversity, litter and energy. They then planned a variety of projects including litter picks in the local area, creating a ‘grow our own’ garden and creating a wildlife garden.
Eco-Schools England Manager, Adam Flint, said: “The Eco-Schools Green Flag award is an internationally recognised symbol of high environmental standards. The pupils and school staff that earn the award deserve immense credit for their hard work, determination, and creativity. Their passion for protecting our planet is an inspiration to us all.”
