In the Spring Term of 2024, Seal were visited by Kent Wildlife Trust to start our journey towards applying for the Wilder Kent Award. This was our spring campaign, looking at supporting and developing our local community.

"The Wilder Kent Awards is a scheme set up to recognise and reward the work schools, businesses and community groups are doing in helping us create a #WilderKent. By taking positive actions to restore nature, they are helping to create a more climate-resilient county and provide a home for wildlife. Their action benefits us locally and helps tackle the global environmental threats we all face." - Kent Wildlife Trust

The journey started off with a whole-school assembly where the children were taught about the wildlife that can be found around Kent as well as our school and engaging them in why it should be protected.

Children and staff have since been involved in workshops as well as classroom activities that have all formed part of the journey, working towards engaging with nature, protecting wildlife and sustainability and carbon reduction.

We look forward to finding out how we do at the awards ceremony!
