Lingfield College Achieves Top Environmental Award

Published by Lingfield College on Friday 30th of June 2023

The Eco-Schools programme encourages young people to engage with environmental issues and empowers them to make a difference in their school, local community and beyond.

We are delighted to announce that Lingfield College Senior School has followed the Prep School in being awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award with Distinction by Eco-Schools. In 2022 Lingfield Prep was the only Surrey school to achieve the Green Flag with Distinction.

"Congratulations to everyone for the great work you have managed to do, earning your Green Flag with Distinction in style.
You should all be very proud of your work!"

THE ECO-SCHOOLS TEAM

Our students are passionate about sustainability and following a greener lifestyle. Together with Environment and Sustainability Lead Mrs Osborn, our Eco Captains and Eco Committee have met twice a month to champion green school initiatives. They have also been supporting and learning from the long-running Eco-club at Prep School.

The Eco-Schools judges were impressed with how Sustainability has been taught across the Curriculum and not limited to Science and Geography. Sustainability is covered in many other subjects, such as Business, Economics, Computer Science and Art. Scholars have written essays on topics such as ‘Do meat-free Mondays make a difference?’ and Sustainability has featured in many Sixth Form EPQ essays.

Lingfield College has also joined the Greener Schools Education Network, allowing us to share ideas with other schools.

With a clear strategy in place, the School is committed to a sustainable future.
