CHILDREN and staff who attend Frome’s Avanti Park School have been congratulated after being awarded the Eco-Schools Green Flag award.
The school was praised for inspiring its students through forest school sessions for everyone, making bird feeders and bug hotels, raising funds for plants inside and outside the school, along with encouraging bird watching.
Avanti Park School has also strived to connect biodiversity, the school grounds and waste projects.
The Green Schools Team, who presented the award, were impressed that children volunteer to take part and are elected by their peers to lead the projects.
The school has links with Frome Town Council and is working on sustainable travel plans for children’s journeys to and from school.
