Rogiet Primary School in Monmouthshire is celebrating winning a Green Flag in the Eco Schools international award programme. Through the school's Eco Club, pupils have been closely involved with the environmental features of their new school such as rainwater harvesting and energy generation by wind turbine. The children will now help to audit the building's performance.

Head teacher Kathryn Evans said: "We are all very excited by the school's environmental features. Watching water pour through the rainwater harvesting pipe (and there has been plenty of that over the past few weeks!), seeing the windows adjust themselves, moving the whiteboards in class, are all reminders to us that we are privileged to have such a fantastic facility in which to learn."

Rogiet Primary School, designed by White Design with Willmott Dixon Construction, recently recorded the highest BREEAM 'Excellent' score for primary schools in Wales.
