Our Eco Day ➡️ Eco Day 2025/26 linked with Global Recycling Day
In 2024/25 we changed how we share our aims. We have an Action Plan for each year group and it helps us all understand the elements of Eco Schools.
Let’s explain what each year group has been focusing on.
We promote walking to school and staying active. We participate in the WOW walk to school programme and track our travels daily in class. We keep the data to check and see how we are doing. We also have Muscle Power Wednesday to further promote walking to school. Check out the website ⬇️

SCHOOL GROUNDS NEWS>>>> Mrs Longley has been working with her Gardening Club to develop our school grounds. It is important to have plants to attract different types of pollinators.
Our gardeners are very active, inviting members of the community to help out. We even have been visited by our MP.
We have participated in the Wales in Bloom scheme (schools category) and RHS School Gardening Scheme (aiming for level 4).
What is Eco-Schools?
Eco-Schools is an international environmental education programme developed by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) in 1994 and run in Wales by Keep Wales Tidy.
Eco-Schools is one of a kind – it’s student led which means the Eco Council meet regularly to set targets and get involved in making our school and local community a better place.
It’s designed to empower and inspire young people to make positive environmental changes to their school and wider community, while building on their key skills, including numeracy and literacy, and encompassing Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship.
Schools achieve Platinum status once they have been awarded the Green Flag four times – demonstrating their long-term commitment to environmental education, student involvement and sustainability. Platinum schools are ranked amongst the best in the world on the Eco-Schools programme.
