We have two Environmental and Sustainability Leads who run an exciting eco programme at St Michael’s Prep. Children and staff across the school are helping our community become more environmentally aware.
We are working towards gaining Eco-Schools Green Flag status which involves showing how we are demonstrating 9 different aspects: biodiversity, energy, global citizenship, healthy living, litter, marine, school grounds, waste, transport and water.
