Eco Accolade for St Peters Primary
May 21, 2009 by Grace Franklin
St Peter’s Primary in Partick was one of the first primary schools in Glasgow to achieve Eco status and a coveted Eco flag. Now the school has achieved its third green flag. Only four educational establishments in the city have reached this impressive goal.
The prestigious award recognises the school’s awareness of environmental issues and continued commitment to developing knowledge of everything green. The major factor in securing their first eco award was the school’s amazing roof garden. Eco assessors on a recent visit were impressed by the PowerPoint presentation explaining what had been done and what the children’s targets are for the future.
Said Sadie Traynor, head teacher at St Peter’s: ‘To get our third green flag is just fabulous especially as our eco school is pupil led. They have embraced the concept beautifully.
Councillor Jonathan Findlay, Executive member for Education congratulated the school. ‘I am very proud of the staff, pupils and parents. They are an example to the rest of us when it comes to environmental awareness.’
