ÿÈÕ̽»¨ receives Eco-Schools Green Flag Award
We are delighted to share that ÿÈÕ̽»¨ has been awarded the acclaimed with distinction, recognising our unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental education.
Sustainability is a strategic priority at ÿÈÕ̽»¨ and our community has been making strides towards reaching goals outlined in our Eco-Committee’s Action Plan, spanning biodiversity, carbon neutrality by 2030, environmental curriculum, waste reduction, transportation and more. Our marked progress is what inspired our School to apply for an Eco-Schools Green Flag Award.
Our pupil-led Eco-Committee has been instrumental in driving our sustainability initiatives. Through their passionate efforts, they have raised awareness about environmental issues and implemented impactful projects. The Environmental Review they conducted highlighted the positive changes already made and paved the way for future initiatives.
According to Eco-Schools, “It is evident that young people in your school are aware of environmental issues and passionate about protecting our planet…Your Action Plan contains a diverse range of activities aimed at creating positive behaviours, making an immediate difference to your local environment, and expanding your Eco-Schools’ initiatives into your local community…[ÿÈÕ̽»¨’s] Eco-Committee have used a wide variety of methods to inform their school community about their work including your house representatives, this shows they take pride in their achievements and are working hard to involve and educate all around them!”
One of our standout achievements included a field trip to Grundon, where pupils learned about waste management firsthand. Additionally, our leadership in the inaugural sustainability conference ‘Youth Perspectives on Climate Change’ had a profound impact, inspiring pupils across our five international partner schools to take action. This Green Flag Award with Distinction not only validates our current efforts but also motivates us to continue our journey towards a sustainable future. We are immensely proud of our pupils and staff for their dedication and enthusiasm in making a difference.
