Rydal Penrhos School took part in a number of activities before winning the Green Tree Schools scheme Silver Award, including a writing competition by Year 3 pupils and sharing an assembly created by the Trust about ‘The Man Who Planted Trees’.

Committee members and other prep pupils will now begin work on gaining a Green Flag award from the charity, which will involve Woodland Trust representatives visiting the school for an eco-based inspection to determine whether they are worthy of the honour.

Deputy Head Alison Hind, said: “This is further proof of the truly remarkable work being done by our Eco Committee, and I would like to personally thank Julie Woodthorpe for her tireless efforts to ensure Rydal Penrhos Prep School is a more environmentally friendly place to work and learn.

“To receive a silver award from the Trust is a significant achievement and one the committee is richly deserving of, and each pupil should feel an enormous sense of accomplishment as a result of their efforts.”
