SECOND International Green Flag Award

This afternoon Miss Roseanne Hennessy visited us from Keep Wales tidy to assess us for the Eco Schools Green Flag Award.  She was very impressed by the whole school's enthusiasm for the Eco-Schools process, and the level of staff and pupil involvement with environmental issues raised by the programme. 

She was delighted on behalf of Keep Wales Tidy to inform Oakleigh House that their application for the Eco-Schools International Green Flag was successful.  Miss Hennessy was pleased with the presentation the children had put together and spoke about and the tour she had of the school.

Mrs Ferriman and Miss Palmer are very proud of how hard everyone has worked to achieve this fantastic award.

FLYING THE FLAG HIGH

 

In June 2012 Mr Gerry Taylor came to assess us for the Eco Schools Green Flag Award.  He was very impressed by the whole school's enthusiasm for the Eco-Schools process, and the level of staff and pupil involvement with environmental issues raised by the programme. 

He reported "...Excellent Eco-linked curriculum work by all age groups; Lots of staff and community involvement; Enthusiastic and knowledgeable pupils during the tour; an all-round ESDGC school with well-integrated Healthy School, Fair Trade, Nature Detectives etc."

He was also able to record that the school site was completely litter free - Grade 'A' - Well done!

He was delighted on behalf of Keep Wales Tidy to inform Oakleigh House that their application for the Eco-Schools International Green Flag was successful.  The Award has been given without preconditions.  

Mrs Ferriman is very proud of how hard everyone has worked to achieve this fantastic award.

ECO Code

If you take a walk around our school then you will see our ECO Code on display in all our classrooms and on our ECO display by the hall. This helps to remind us what we believe being ECO means in Oakleigh House School.

Oakleigh House School is beginning an ECO campaign to see how much food waste we can save at lunch time and how many little changes we can help that will make a big difference to help save our planet! Watch this space for news and updates of our new projects and adventures to becoming a 'greener' healthier school!
