We are delighted to announce that Portpatrick has been awarded it’s seventh first Eco Schools flag in recognition of our great environmental work over the last 10 years. We renew our status every two years.
Eco-Schools is the largest sustainable schools programme in the world with 19.5 million children, young people and educators engaged worldwide in 74 different countries.
Completing a Green Flag Application is recognised by the Green Flag Award which is a visible indication of a school’s commitment to Learning for Sustainability and is an internationally recognised accreditation for excellence in sustainable education.
This has been a team effort with the pupils, staff and partners such as ONUS and the Glasgow Science Centre. The children have taken the lead in driving forward our action plan for the key target areas of:
Litter and Waste – Global Citizenship – Climate Action
We are proud of our pupils taking positive action as Responsible Citizens and Effective Contributors!
Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey.
Have a look at what we’ve been up to here:
