Well done to Avanti Park for being awarded their Eco-Schools Green Flag again!
One of the highlights was the completion of the Eco-Schools Environmental Review, which not only showcased the schools’ achievements in Healthy Living but also illuminated areas for growth, such as mindfulness of marine issues. From creating a tranquil “zen zone” in the playground to eliminating single-use plastics, our students have demonstrated an admirable commitment to the Eco-Schools ethos.
The report from the assessors was glowing; here are just some of the highlights…
“It is clear that environmental consciousness is more than just a subject—it’s a shared passion! The dedicated Eco-Committee, consisting of enthusiastic students and teachers led by Mrs Armstrong is a collective journey toward sustainability has truly flourished this year. With an unwavering commitment to protecting our planet, these young eco-ambassadors have successfully embraced the Eco-Schools program, paving the way for innovative initiatives that inspire the entire school community.”
“Their Eco-Committee’s Action Plan is a testament to their creativity and foresight. Their well-thought-out goals include researching the implementation of a water butt, establishing a bike shelter, and exploring the impact of food waste. The inclusion of hands-on projects within the curriculum—like Forest School lessons for KS2 students and participation in Climate Change Week—has helped cultivate a culture of sustainability, ensuring our children understand the importance of environmental stewardship.”
“The collaboration with local organizations such as Cornpop Critters and Frome Town Council has strengthened their community ties, fostering a deeper appreciation for nature and its preservation. The Eco-Committee’s innovative use of notice boards and posters has successfully informed and engaged our wider community, encouraging everyone to join our eco-movement.”
As the school proudly celebrate the Eco-Schools Green Flag recognition, they acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our young leaders. Their inspiring acrostic poem, representing our Eco-Code, serves as a powerful reminder of our collective aspirations. Together, they can continue to change our world for the better, and we invite everyone to take pride in these remarkable achievements. Congratulations, Eco-Committee—your journey has just begun!
