Denstone College Celebrates Another Eco-Schools Green Flag Triumph!

This academic year, pupils at Denstone College have continued to lead the way in promoting sustainability and raising environmental awareness among their school community, including peers, staff members, and the wider local community. Their exceptional efforts have once again been recognised with the prestigious, internationally recognised Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation.

The Eco-Schools programme, established in 1994, has been inspiring young environmentalists for over 30 years. It has grown into a global movement, with Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation awarded to schools in more than 100 countries. In England alone, the programme reaches over 1 million young people each year, empowering them to make a positive impact on our planet.

This year, pupils impressively built on these achievements by tackling three key areas: energy, waste, and biodiversity. Working together, they created a detailed and impactful year-long action plan to address these priorities.

Speaking about their achievements, Chloe Cheadle (Energy and Sustainability Officer) said, “It has been inspiring to see how enthusiastic our pupils have been about sustainability this year. Their energy, creativity, and desire to create change is evident. The Green Flag award is a wonderful recognition of their efforts, and I could not be prouder.”

Eco-Schools England Manager, Adam Flint, expressed: "Every year, we are amazed by the incredible efforts of young people working together to create a better future for all. Their collective impact is truly remarkable. If everyone approached the climate crisis with the same level of passion and determination, we could resolve it much faster and make it a problem of the past. At Keep Britain Tidy, we are delighted to recognise their achievements with the Eco-Schools Green Flag."
