Eco-schools Green Flag accreditation

3rd September 2023

As a School Council/Eco- Committee we are delighted to announce that we have recently been awarded the Eco – Schools Green Flag. This accreditation is the culmination of two years of hard work, commitment and dedication from all of our wonderful School Council representatives.

As part of their work, our children identified environmental issues at Russell and within our local community and they have been committed to educating themselves and others, creating positive change.

 

Feedback from our assessor reflected this:

‘At Russell, you have an ambitious and assured committee that have no doubt inspired others with their work.’

‘It is clear that your Eco-Committee are constantly considering what actions they can take to improve their local community and benefit our planet.’

 

We are so very proud of all of our School Councillors for achieving the Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation. We are excited to see what is next and how we can continue to bring positive environmental change to our school community and beyond.
