What a weekend of growing, everything, apart from the courgettes, are making amazing progress! Eco-Schools England @RHSSchools

Another reminder to the school community to use the resources shared in the school newsletter to sign up for HomeRun and enjoy greener, easier and more sustainable school travel.

Great work everyone on some superb initiatives across so many St Albans schools.

Tomorrow in the salad bar expect to see some of our home grown Samuel Ryder Academy Radishes. #ecogarden #ecoschools #GardeningTwitter @RHSSchools

Happy to share our tomatoes 🍅 have come along to say hello!

Lots of hard work going on in the eco garden today we have nearly laid weed repressing liner and mulch all around the site and a great idea by a Yr 8 student to use old bricks to line our no dig beds.

Some very hardworking young women today working on mulching our Eco Garden #schoolgarden #Sustainability #setpride

What an email to start the day… we did it Eco-Schools England Green Flag with DISTINCTION! Amazing work by students and staff to continue to develop a culture where sustainability is a focus for all. We are so proud

Growing update: everything is looking good in the eco garden, we’re busily planning using @RHSSchools beautiful planting book for next year #Sustainability #schoolgarden #growing #gardening

Looks amazing! Thanks so much Art department!

We love our new eco mural designed by a year 5 student in SRA Primary and painted by SRA Art ❤️

* Bikeability Cycle Training * Our Year 6 children are very much enjoying an on-road cycle course this week which is designed to improve cycle control and to learn how to ride safely on roads. #bikeability SRA Primary

Brilliant work everyone! And thanks so much for contributing to making our Eco Garden even more beautiful.

We’re very proud as a school to have achieved Silver status for our work with our school travel plan. Thanks to Team Modeshift for recognising our efforts to travel to school more sustainably.

Some exciting news to celebrate at the end of the year. We received our Distinction Green Flag Award from Eco-Schools England what a great way to end our most sustainable year yet! #ecoschool #Sustainability Samuel Ryder Academy @RHSSchools Scholars' Education Trust #setpride
