This academic year, children and staff members at Tudor Primary have led the way in the early years of environmental education and sustainability. Their exceptional efforts have been recognised with the prestigious, internationally recognised 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 settings in more than 100 countries. In England alone, the programme reaches over 1 million young people each year, empowering them to make a positive impact on our planet.

At Tudor Primary School, staff members took responsibility for making their site more sustainable by planting and growing their own vegetables and enhancing their garden to attract biodiversity. Children in their nursery also proved that you’re never too young to make a difference, getting involved in their Eco-Schools work by growing, planting, and participating in forest school, as well as creating artwork with natural materials.

Speaking about their achievements, staff member Mrs Chaggar had led the project for the nursery setting and led a hands-on growing project with the Nursery children.  

Eco-Schools England Manager, Adam Flint, expressed: "Every year, we are amazed by the incredible efforts of young people working together to create a better future for all, as well as the staff who support their efforts. Their collective impact is truly remarkable. If everyone approached the climate crisis with the same level of passion and determination, we could resolve it much faster and make it a problem of the past. At Keep Britain Tidy, we are delighted to recognise their achievements with the Eco-Schools Green Flag."
