Eco Warriors

Being a Green Flag School is part of our DNA!

Since September 2008 a student council of "Eco Warriors", with a dedicated staff member at the helm, have led Enstone Primary School first in achieving and then in maintaining Eco-School status.  The award was first achieved in January 2011 with the Green Flag being presented to the Eco Warriors by Cllr. Ian Hudspeth.  In the years that followed we faced bi-annual and then annual re-assessment, which we passed with flying colours each time, retaining our Green Flag status.  In 2022, 2023, 2024,2025 and 2026 we were delighted to achieve awards with Distinction!


We all need to work together to help save our world.

There is no Planet B!

River-Watch Project

Since 2023, our Eco Warriors have been involved in a river-watch project, in association with the Evenlode Catchment Partnership, making Enstone Primary School the first “Citizen Science Water Quality School” on the River Glyme. 

Our pupil team take responsibility for carrying out visual inspections and water quality checks and reporting back their findings on the river’s condition.  The River Glyme currently has a poor ecological status, with potential sources of nitrate pollution being fertiliser run-off, sewage discharge and livestock activities.  This can make the river unsafe for paddling and swimming and lead to loss of biodiversity.  The Eco Warrior team, armed with testing kits, check nitrate and phosphate levels and report on any visible pollutants, as well as making observations about the local flora and fauna

We are delighted that Enstone Primary School has become the project’s first Catchment Champion School and look forward to making a purposeful contribution towards this important environmental project.
