In 2022, Phoenix Community Primary School achieved the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award for the first time. In 2023, we achieved the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award with Merit, and in 2024, we achieved the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award with Distinction. We are working towards maintaining this highest status this year.
Each year, pupils from each class put themselves forward for the role of Eco-Councillors and give reasons to their class as to why they think they would be most suitable. Classes then vote to democratically choose two new Eco-Councillors. Our first job each year is to complete an Environmental Review in order to identify areas where we could improve. This year, our three key areas are: Energy, Water and Healthy Living. We completed an action plan with our ideas for improving in these three areas over the course of the year.
