Rosecliffe Spencer achieves Green Flag Eco School Award with Distinction
Rosecliffe Spencer Academy have achieved a remarkable milestone by earning the prestigious Green Flag Eco School award with a distinction for ‘excellence in improving sustainability and environmental learning in our setting'. This recognition celebrates the school marking a significant achievement in their ongoing commitment to creating a greener future!
The Green Flag award is an internationally recognized accreditation that honours schools demonstrating their dedication to environmental awareness and sustainable practices. Rosecliffe’s success is a testament to the hard work and passion of both pupils and staff in integrating eco-friendly initiatives into everyday school life.
A special mention goes to the school’s past and present Eco Warriors, a group of enthusiastic pupils who have played a crucial role in leading Rosecliffe’s eco journey. Their determination and enthusiasm have been instrumental in achieving this milestone, inspiring the entire school community to take positive environmental action.
Rosecliffe’s journey towards sustainability has been a collective effort. The children and staff have actively contributed by picking up litter, reducing food waste, improving recycling practices, and participating in Forest School activities. The school has also focused on lowering energy consumption and educating their classmates on the importance of renewable energy sources. Memorable educational visits to Langar Solar Farm, Rushcliffe Country Park, and the Recycling Centre in Mansfield have further reinforced their commitment to environmental learning.
Jessica Edwards, Vice Principal and one of the Eco School Leads at Rosecliffe, shared: “We’re so proud to raise this Eco Flag because it shows what we can achieve when we work together to care for our planet. It has been great seeing our efforts enrich the children's experiences to connect with nature and improve our school environment in a sustainable way.”
This Green Flag distinction is not just a recognition but a motivation for Rosecliffe to continue its environmental efforts and inspire other schools to adopt sustainable practices.
Well done, Rosecliffe – a shining example of how education and environmental responsibility go hand in hand!
