Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates:  Repton Abu Dhabi is proud to announce that it has been awarded Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation, recognising the school’s continued efforts to embed sustainability, environmental awareness, and responsible global citizenship across its curriculum and wider school community.

The Green Flag accreditation is awarded through the Eco-Schools initiative, delivered globally by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). The internationally recognised award celebrates schools that demonstrate a sustained and structured approach to environmental education and responsible practices.

To mark this achievement, Repton Abu Dhabi is recognising Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week across both of its campuses, engaging students in a range of age-appropriate activities linked to UN Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action. Through classroom discussions, collaborative projects, and hands-on activities exploring energy conservation, waste reduction, and responsible resource use, students are encouraged to reflect on climate challenges and apply sustainable thinking both in school and in their everyday lives.

Mr Stephen Davis, Interim Principal of Repton Abu Dhabi, commented: “Achieving Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation is a fantastic achievement for our school community. Sustainability is not treated as a standalone topic at Repton Abu Dhabi, but as an integral part of how we educate our students to think critically, act responsibly, and understand their role in the wider world. Celebrating Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week allows us to reinforce these values in a way that is engaging, relevant, and purposeful for our students.”

The Eco-Schools framework promotes a whole-school approach, placing student voice and leadership at its core through environmental committees, audits, and action planning. At Repton Abu Dhabi, students play an active role in shaping initiatives that promote environmental awareness and responsible decision-making, reinforcing the school’s emphasis on sustainability education and supporting students to engage thoughtfully with global challenges while aligning with the UAE’s sustainability vision.
