Narberth Community School are celebrating after being presented with their Sustainable Schools Silver Award.

They received their award in a special assembly on Friday from Peter Davies, former Sustainable Futures Commissioner for Wales.

Mr. Davies thanked the staff and pupils for all their hard work towards achieving the award.

Earlier in the year, pupils and staff demonstrated how they had embedded the topics of water, community citizenship, and global citizenship in their learning, the civic life and the management of the school.

Tim Brew, Sustainable Schools officer, said: “The standard of the work in school was very high and pupils participated in a wide range of related activities in and outside the classroom.”

Pupils enjoyed participating in a Fairtrade Football Tournament, producing a magazine sponsored by local businesses and learning about the wildlife in their school pond.

The Sustainable Schools Award is run by Pembrokeshire County Council. It acknowledges pupils’ work and understanding of sustainability throughout the school.

The award covers seven topics; energy, transport, community citizenship, biodiversity, water, waste, health and global citizenship.

Schools demonstrate how they include sustainability in the curriculum, in their ethos and in the running of the school. The award is split into three stages, bronze, silver and gold.

Mrs. Rhian Williams, deputy headteacher, said: “We are extremely proud to receive the silver award. It is a testament to all of the hard work completed by both pupils and staff across the school. We are very passionate about sustainability and are already hard at work preparing for the gold award.”
