Eco Schools Ten Sustainable Topics are embedded into the broad and rich curriculum at Richard Avenue Primary School. We are very proud to have achieved our fourth Eco-School Green Flag renewal.
Our staff and children enjoy:
- A number of differently themes gardens, such as the Friendship Garden, and the Wildlife Garden.
- A large school field, surrounded by plants and flowers, mature trees, and a variety of new trees (Silver Birch, Wild Cherry, and Rowan) planted in 2024.
- A working allotment, growing a wide variety of seasonal fruit and veg.
- Composters, and water butts.
- Bird and Insect friendly planting and structures, like nesting boxes, and bug hotels.
- Benches and tables to sit and relax in this environment.
