GREEN CORNER
Thank you for collecting Yellow Pages. We didn?t win but we had a Certificate of Achievement.
We also had an inspection as part of the Teaching Awards in the sustainable school category. This involves the environment, healthy schools, international schools and global awareness. In fact, everything that is at the heart of this school. The ECO Action Team did a sterling job of showing the judges around and they assure us that we did very well! We are one of the three finalists in the West Midlands. Fingers crossed!
