How did it win these awards? Ferndale Primary School works hard to promote recycling and all of its pupils are encouraged to help keep the school tidy. A hit squad of pupils take part in a lunch-time litter patrol every day and the school also runs a rangers scheme, in which pupils are encouraged to take an interest in the environment.
What else does it do? The school has an eco-school code for staff and pupils. It also hosts green days, which are environmentally themed. Pupils have the chance to become recycling monitors and energy auditors.
