Eco School Green Flag Renewals – New Procedure<br />
As part of the Eco Schools programme Keep Wales Tidy have introduced a<br />
formal procedure to encourage schools to adhere to the green flag renewal<br />
timeframe and to ensure schools receive support working through the Eco<br />
Schools programme.<br />
In order to ensure that the above system is upheld, the following procedure<br />
has been introduced by Keep Wales Tidy.<br />
• A formal letter addressed to the head teacher is sent to the school<br />
six months before Green Flag status is due to expire. The letter will<br />
remind the school that an application for Green Flag renewal will be<br />
due by the 2 nd anniversary of the award.<br />
• After the 2 nd anniversary of the award, with no application having<br />
been received, another letter is sent to the school, addressed to the<br />
head teacher. In this letter will be stated that the last deadline for<br />
application to be received is within 30 school days.<br />
• If the school has not sent an application by the last deadline, a<br />
standard letter will be sent to the head teacher advising that Green<br />
Flag status has been removed. They will no longer have the<br />
permission to display the Green Flag or use the award logo on school<br />
documents. The school will be encouraged to continue working<br />
towards Green Flag status, but when they do apply for status again, it<br />
will be for the 1 st Flag.
