"It’s a real honour and comes down to the fact that we have a very active eco-group in school and are all very passionate about making sure we’re protecting the planet.
"Our eco-group have just introduced a new way of collecting and recycling old plastic toys so we’re not just using more and more plastic, but we’re recycling the plastic that we don’t want, saving it from landfill.
"These are all things generated by the children because they’re as passionate as we are."
