We are an ECO School!
We are delighted to announce that the pupils at Eslington Primary School have helped the school earn an international accreditation, which recognises their amazing work in making Gateshead more environmentally friendly and in helping to promote eco-awareness. We have achieved the Eco Schools Green flag at Distinction level in 2021-2022 and again in 2024.
The Eco Schools programme was established in 1994 and is now delivered in more than 70 countries across the globe. More than 1 million pupils attended an Eco School in England between 2022 – 2023.
Pupils at Eslington Primary School formed our own Eco Warriors committee and conduct an annual environmental review to assess how eco-friendly the school is. They review everything from biodiversity within the school grounds to how pupils and staff members travel to school. Drawing upon their findings, pupils create an action plan designed to advance the school’s green credentials, improve the environment and protect our planet.
