The pattern matters more than any single badge
The same school that flies the Eco-Schools Green Flag also holds accreditation for its dyslexia provision, a Gold mark for space education and national recognition for wellbeing. That spread shows an education that is genuinely broad, and it reflects the promise behind everything we do: children who feel settled and supported go on to achieve.
