Ysgol Dinas Bran celebrates its latest eco award success

* Staff and students at Ysgol Dinas Bran with their latest Platinum Eco Award.

Ysgol Dinas Bran has announced its successful application for the Platinum Eco Award.

This is the highest level award given to schools for their environmental work and only a few secondary schools in North Wales have it.

In a post of its Facebook page the school says: "We have to submit an action plan and a case study each year involving a new initiative to regain the award, so after six successful awards this does get more challenging, which makes the award again this year all the more pleasing.

"Catrin the awarding officer stated: 'It was very interesting to read about the partnership project to raise awareness about the Llangollen Whitebeam, as well as to plant more of the trees locally. I was also pleased to see from your evaluated action plan how a range of other targets have been successful this year.

"'I am delighted to confirm that you have retained your Platinum Eco-Schools status and wish you every success with this year’s projects. Maintaining the Eco-Schools Platinum status is a fantastic achievement. The school, staff and pupils, should feel proud of their hard work and commitment.'"
