Our Lady & St Joseph Primary School in Lymington awarded Eco Schools Green Flag
A LYMINGTON school has been given an environmental award for its forward-thinking actions.
Our Lady & St Joseph Primary School in Ramley Road attained an Eco Schools Green Flag for ecological projects over the last academic year.
Pupils have been planting in the school’s orchard, creating bee hydration stations and bug hotels, and taking part in RSPB bird watch activities.
Children were praised for their work with schools in Southampton on the children’s COP26 conference, as well as community outreach.
A school spokesperson said: “This clearly demonstrates that the children’s hard work is appreciated and it provides them with the confidence and motivation to continue actively engaging with environmental issues now and throughout their lifetimes.
“It creates the next generation of innovative, inspirational environmentalists and tells local communities that a school, college or nursery is forward-thinking and actively engaged in protecting our planet.”
Our Lady & St Joseph is offering prospective Reception parents a tour of the school on Monday 17th October at 9am.
