Kenilworth Schools Achieves a Distinction in the Eco Schools Award

Posted on: 15/11/2024

When we moved to the new school site the Eco Committee led by Joe, Rebecca, Frankie, Kate, Olivia and Lauren) wanted to make the school a greener place and worked very hard to achieve that, supported by students, staff, parents and the wider community.

The work they completed last year (whilst studying for their A levels was truly amazing) and they accomplished many things including: getting plants into classrooms, successfully getting shrubs from the Woodlands Trust and HS2 which were planted in the school and in the local community, attending meetings, both in and outside of school to liaise with the Kenilworth Climate Change Emergency Group, ran assemblies, bake sales, Earth Day celebrations, hosted some of the plants rescued from Talisman Square and much, much more!

One of the key points the Eco Schools Award Group said about our application was that the school had been wise to work with the community on many of these matters. This is something we would love to continue and luckily the Kenilworth Community Gardeners who kindly donated the plants from Talisman Square to us have helped us by weeding and are going to donate some spring bulbs to us
