Eco Schools

Calisen funded 20 schools to apply for the Green Flag Award. They were nominated either by our charity partners, Manchester and Wigan Youth Zone, or through EcoSchools. All 20 share a passion for making a positive impact on the world around us.

 

In our commitment to achieving net zero, one of the schools leading the way is Willowpark Primary Academy in Oldham, Manchester. For the past two years, they have actively participated in the Eco-Schools programme, with a focus this year on three key areas: biodiversity, marine life, and the enhancement of school grounds.

Our Commercial Director, Ben Etherington, who also happens to be a beekeeper, paid them a visit, armed with honey, bee keeping paraphernalia and fascinating insights for the children about the importance of bees in nature.

 

We were also delighted to collaborate with St Cuthbert’s in Wigan. Their eco-team consists of fourteen children (two from each year group). This was their first award entry, with the team focusing on projects related to the school grounds, energy and marine areas.

 

Of all the schools which we supported were awarded the green flag for their efforts.
