Kingswood School is proud to have received two Eco-Schools Green Flag Awards!

At Kingswood we have come to realise that changing attitudes and raising awareness within our society are very important. Little changes in behavioural patterns can add up to make a big difference. We believe that concern for the environment and our realisation of the need to do something have transformed our school community drastically for the better over recent years, largely through Eco-Schools (www.eco-schools org.uk), which is a student-driven initiative involving the whole community. Wishing to build on the success of Eco-Schools, our Headmaster created a Sustainable Development Committee early in 2008. Consequently, representatives of all the stakeholders (Governors, Senior Management Team, students, parents, teaching and non-teaching staff including the Bursar, Catering and Facilities Managers) now meet termly to discuss the advancement of sustainability within the School and take action.

We feel we can achieve much more by working with other schools and, with this aim, Kingswood students have designed and created a website based on the national Sustainable School Strategy in order to share good practices. We are encouraging students from other schools to use it as a means to share successes in the hope of inspiring others. Below you will find the link to this.

Mahatma Ghandi once said: “Be the change you want to see in the world” and Kingswood pupils are very much taking heed of this advice. Have a look for yourself and become part of the change!
