School Accreditations
We are very proud of our accreditations:
Learning Outside the Classroom (Bronze)
Recognising schools’ commitment to integrating LOtC into the life of the organisation, the LOtC Mark (Bronze) assesses an organisation’s awareness of the benefits of providing frequent, continuous and progressive learning outside the classroom (LOtC) experiences to all pupils.
Eco Schools Bronze and Silver Awards
The bronze and silver awards are awarded on a school's journey towards the Eco-Schools Green Flag.
Schools gain the Bronze Award when they have formed an Eco-Committee, completed the Eco-Schools Environmental Review, and created an action plan.
Schools then gain the Silver Award when they have documented at least three examples of learning linked to environmental issues, and set up an Eco-Board and involved their school community in an Eco-Schools action or project.
