Once again Rokeby has received international accreditation for our exceptional work in promoting sustainability and raising environmental awareness amongst the school community, through a Green Flag with Distinction.
The Eco-Schools programme, established in 1994, is now implemented in over 70 countries. In 2023-24, more than 1.4 million pupils attended an Eco-School in England. The programme encourages young people to explore various environmental issues before spearheading environmental action in their school and local community.
Impressively, Rokeby Eco Reps built on previous achievements by focusing on three key issues: biodiversity, marine, and school grounds. The Eco Committee then successfully delivered a diverse range of activities, including assemblies from outside experts, planting around the school and beyond, and visiting sites of environmental interest.
