At Lonesome Primary School, we are committed to helping our children understand how they can care for our planet and make positive choices for a more sustainable future.

Our Eco Warriors are a group of enthusiastic children from across the school who will help to lead our environmental work. They will meet weekly to discuss ideas, identify areas for improvement and implement actions from our School Eco Agenda. Most importantly, our Eco Warriors will help to ensure that children have a voice in deciding how we can make Lonesome Primary School a greener, healthier and more environmentally friendly place.

This year, we are working towards achieving the Eco Schools Green Flag Award. The Green Flag Award recognises and celebrates schools that make environmental action and sustainability an important part of school life.

As part of our journey towards the Green Flag Award, our Eco Warriors and wider school community will focus on a range of important environmental areas.

• Biodiversity - protecting and encouraging wildlife around our school.
• Water - saving water and preventing pollution.
• Energy - reducing energy waste and promoting renewable sources.
• Waste - reusing, recycling and reducing what we throw away.
• Transport - encouraging walking, cycling and cleaner travel.
• School grounds - improving our pond, nature garden and outdoor spaces. We are proud to have already planted ten new fruit trees this term.
• Healthy living - promoting healthy, sustainable lifestyles.
• Global citizenship - learning how our actions affect the world.
• Litter and food waste - keeping our school tidy and cutting down on waste.

We are also excited to be working in partnership with the RHS on a Plants for Wellbeing project, helping our children to experience the benefits of growing, gardening and connecting with nature.

We are your Eco Team for 2026-2027!
