Green Flag

Eco Schools Green Flag

Well at last we have our Green Flag on display. The Green Flag symbolises a lot of hard work by a lot of people to make our school a more sustainable place. It is of course only the start of the journey with lots of new challenges and projects ahead. We can only take inspiration from Water Leys Primary school (one of our feeder schools) who became one of a handful of schools to be awarded their fourth flag and had their celebration Assembly last week. Congratulations to them.

Our First Green Flag!

Today 38 of us went outside, some to work on the allotment, some to do composting and some to look at the site for the proposed meadow and outdoor classrooms. Before that we took our newly awarded Green Flag out to take a photo and here it is! All we need now is a flagpole.

 

An Inspector Calls

Yesterday we were visited by the Eco Schools assessor to see if we had done enough to get a Green Flag award. The Action Team and representatives of the Eco Club met with the assessor as did many of the staff involved with our various Eco Projects. We won’t know the outcome until we get a letter from Eco Schools -but we think she was impressed 😉

This Friday we hope to do a bit more planting in the allotment and finish deadheading the Daffodils after we got rained off last Friday. Next Tuesday there will be a chance to do some serious gardening after school. See Mr. Batchelor for details.
