Sustainability

Friends’ holds the Green Flag Award, which recognises the good work done in school.

Our Eco Committee organises whole-school activities and leads campaigns to improve the quality of our school environment. This will help us to maintain our surroundings for future generations of pupils, help reduce the environmental impact of the school and foster in our young people a sense of stewardship of the world in which they live.
