Eco-Friendly
Pre-Preparatory and Preparatory
Herschel Girls' Preparatory is proud to fly the Eco-Schools Green Flag, for the fifth successive year.
The Eco-Schools Programme is an international programme of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), which accredits schools that make a commitment to continuously improve their school's environmental performance with Green Flags and Eco-School status.
At Herschel Preparatory School the Eco-Schools Programme is a whole school programme with the involvement of staff, pupils and the parent community.
The Preparatory School has established a close relationship with the Friends of the Arderne Gardens (FOTAG) and pupils are involved in some conservation programmes with FOTAG.
