Lady Nafisa school has earned an international accreditation this academic year, recognising the amazing work it is doing to make LNS more environmentally friendly and raising eco-awareness in fellow pupils.
The Eco-Schools programme was established in 1994 and is now delivered in more than 70 countries across the globe. More than 1 million pupils attended an Eco-School in England in 2022-23.
Pupils first formed an Eco-Committee, aptly named “The Green Team”, and conducted an environmental review, assessing how eco-friendly LNS is. They reviewed everything from biodiversity within their school grounds to how pupils and staff members travel to school. Building on their findings, pupils then planned a year of action designed to advance their school’s green credentials, improve their local environment, and protect our planet.
The Eco-Committee connected their work to 3 Eco-Schools topics: Energy, school grounds and waste. They then planned a variety of projects including upcycling tyres, planting spring bulbs and changing bulbs to energy efficient ones.
Eco-Schools England Manager, Adam Flint, said: “The Eco-Schools Green Flag award is an internationally recognised symbol of high environmental standards. The pupils and school staff that earn the award deserve immense credit for their hard work, determination, and creativity. Their passion for protecting our planet is an inspiration to us all.”
