STARS Education Secondary School of the Year 2025/26 Awards
Modeshift STARS Education run a programme that supports schools to work towards safer and more sustainable travel to school through a series of objectives for all schools to work towards.
Last year we achieved an Outstanding award for our Travel Plan including getting public buses to pick students up on our school site.
On Tuesday we were invited to attend the Local and Regional awards as one of the 160 nationwide schools nominated for an award.
The newly formed Eco-Council attended the awards ceremony with myself and Mrs Line, it was a fun event with interaction with other schools across the nation learning more about what a mascot is and why we have mascots as this was their theme this year. Then the awards took place first of all naming the Local Authority awards where we won for Hertfordshire and the Regional awards where we also won the East of England Award.
The Eco-Council are very keen to get started on lots of projects and to keep the Sustainable Transport status we have, we shall publish our progress throughout the year and hope to maintain our outstanding Status.

After a range of fantastic entries a group of judges including Mr Flack and other members of the SLT team took to voting for the winners. I am very proud to announce that the winners were:
In first place, with their logo being used on all Sustainable Townsend communications and presentations from here onward – Vedanshi J 7E
In second place – Jessie B 7D

I would like to remind everyone that Sustainable Townsend competitions are open to all year groups to take part and the deadline for the first photography competition is fast approaching. All entrants will receive house points for their entries and I look forward to celebrating winning entries here and in collective worships with the students. Good luck.
