Second Green Flag

We are now proudly displaying our first green flag.

Thank you to all those who attended the raising of the flag on Friday 19th October.

We have stated work on the second green flag already.  The theme for this flag is energy and it will take two years and seven steps to achieve it.

We have taken the first step which is forming a new committee. Second Class and Third Class are the new ‘Green Team’ and they have started work on step two already, which is performing an ‘environmental review’ of the school. We have focused on lighting so far and have noted areas in the school that will have to be monitired closely to reduce the amount of energy they are using on lighting.  Results of our light survey will be on display on the Green Notice board in school next week.

We will use the information gathered so far to help us take step three which is to form an action plan, including spcific goals in energy reduction and how we intend to achieve them.
