A WORCESTER school has secured its fifth successive Eco-schools Green Flag award.

Nunnery Wood High is the only high school in Worcester to have achieved five of the flags given by the international award programme that encourages sustainability to be part of school life.

Nunnery Wood has, as Eco-Schools Ambassadors, supported projects in Germany, South Africa and The Gambia.

It was these projects that helped secure the latest green accolade along with a Litter Lotto scheme and community litter pick, led by year 7 Eco- Rep students.

Year 8 pupils also organised a Clean for the Queen bottle top collection by year 8 students and the school ran a Fair Trade and Trashion Show and a plastic microbeads awareness campaign and petition.

Eco-Schools Coordinator Elena Lengthorn said: “I am immensely proud of the innovative, enthusiastic students at Nunnery Wood who have worked on each of the nine eco-schools topics in the past two years."

Headteacher Steve Powell said, “Receiving this award again is a great achievement for the school.

"Our global focus adds hugely to the life of the school and I’d like to thank Elly Lengthorn and her student team for all they do to keep its profile high.”
