Highclare Prep Achieve Green Flag Status!

Posted: 13th July 2021

Congratulations to Highclare Prep Eco Warriors who have worked tirelessly to achieve Green Flag Status via Eco-Schools!!

Eco-Schools is a seven step framework that schools and colleges around the world use to introduce, manage and complete environmental actions in their organisation and local community.

The Seven Steps of Eco-School aim to place young people at the heart of these environmental actions and Highclare Prep have certainly taken this challenge to their hearts. This approach has engaged, motivated and empowered our young people to care for our planet now and throughout their lifetimes.

Pupils at Highclare Preparatory School: St Paul’s and Highclare Preparatory School: Woodfield have created Eco Codes and environmental action plans for each site including the topics of litter, recycling, bio-diversity, school grounds, usable vegetable gardens and caring for local wildlife.  Plans will be put into action from September onwards led by our passionate Eco Club team.

The Eco-Schools Green Flag is international and recognised by organisations such as UNESCO. It is a symbol of a school’s commitment to environmental education and we look forward to it flying proudly at Highclare Prep School.

GCSE Results

This year Highclare students have once again produced outstanding GCSE results.  Nearly one third of all grades were at the highest level of 7 and above and our overall pass rate was 92%, all of which are significantly above the national figures of 22% and 68% respectively.

Half of all grades were 6 and above and 98% of our full-time students achieved 5 of more GCSE passes. Having scored particularly excellent grades in Science and Maths, we are welcoming 4 students onto our Pre-Med scholarship program, designed to support students with medicine-related university applications.

Nearly 10% of our cohort have achieved 8 or more GCSEs at the top grades of 7 or above (or 35% achieved 7 or more GCSEs at the top grades of 6 or above).
