ECO-friendly children at Sytchampton Endowed First School have been rewarded for their green fingers and environmental awareness.
The school has been re-awarded its Green Flag after attaining it for the first time two years ago. The prestigious award is given to schools that show awareness and appreciation for the environment by incorporating schemes such as recycling.
Iris Fox, deputy head, said: "We're going to keep the green flag flying here. The children are all very proud of it. Every child in the school has been involved in working towards the award."
The Green Flag scheme, run by ECO Schools, is part of a national campaign to get children more aware of the natural environment, and techniques to help preserve it. Children and teachers at the school will be keeping up their eco-friendly plan, and hope to be awarded the Green Flag to keep in four years' time.
