Achievements and Awards

 

Eco-Schools Green Flag Award 2025-2026

In July 2026, we were awarded the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award.

Colour Distinction

The Eco-Schools programme provides a simple, seven-step framework that answers this question whilst empowering young people to make a difference in their school, local community and beyond. Since 1994, millions of young people around the world have worked through the Eco-Schools Seven Steps before being recognised for their efforts with a prestigious Eco-Schools Green Flag.

Schools connect their activities to three or more of the Ten Eco-Schools Topics. These topics break large, global issues like climate change into more manageable and directed themes that prompt young people to consider environmental changes that they can make in their school and everyday lives.

Healthy Schools London Silver Award

The Silver Healthy Schools London Award recognises schools that have successfully embedded health and wellbeing into school life and can demonstrate positive outcomes for pupils. It shows that Harris Primary Academy Haling Park is actively promoting healthy lifestyles through areas such as mental wellbeing, pupil voice, and personal development.

To achieve Silver status, we provided evidence that health and wellbeing initiatives are having a measurable impact on children and that these approaches are supported across the whole school community.

Healthy Schools London Bronze Award

The Healthy Schools London Bronze Award recognises schools that are committed to improving the health, wellbeing and achievement of their pupils. It is the first stage of the Healthy Schools London programme and demonstrates that a school has effective policies and practices in place to support children’s physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.

To achieve the Bronze Award, we reviewed our current provision and provide evidence that we:

  • Promote healthy eating and healthy lifestyles
  • Encourage regular physical activity
  • Support pupils' emotional health and wellbeing
  • Teach children how to stay safe, healthy and make informed choices
  • Work in partnership with parents, carers and the wider community
  • Ensure pupil voice contributes to health and wellbeing initiatives

Achieving the Bronze Award shows that, at Haling Park, we understand the strong link between health, wellbeing and learning. It acknowledges that we demonstrate a commitment to creating a safe, supportive and inclusive environment where all children can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
