Crescent School Celebrates Another Eco Schools Green Flag Award

Last academic year, pupils at Crescent School led the way in promoting sustainability and raising environmental awareness amongst their community, including their peers, staff members and the wider local community. Their exceptional efforts have been recognised with a prestigious, internationally acclaimed Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation.

The Eco-Schools programme, established in 1994, has been inspiring young environmentalists for over 30 years. It has grown into a global movement, with Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation awarded to schools in more than 100 countries.

15 pupils from Year 2 to Year 6 worked together as a Green Team. They identified three key focus areas for sustainability improvements: Healthy Living, Global Citizenship and School Grounds. Across the year, the children launched numerous activities and campaigns to help engage the wider school community and drive the sustainability message home. They also led the school's engagement with the Foundation-wide School COP.

Jacqui Johnson, the teacher leading the Green Team at Crescent School, said: "We are thrilled that our environmental efforts have been recognised. We are proud of the enthusiasm of our pupils to make real change for the benefit of our planet. Their mature and inspirational attitude aligns with our school and wider Foundation’s sustainability ethos, and our shared goal to make the world a better and brighter place.”
