Braunton Academy: Proud to Be a Planet Hero School!
Braunton Academy is thrilled to announce that we have officially earned elite status as a Planet Hero School — a recognition that celebrates our unwavering commitment to environmental action and sustainability. After hosting three successful Just One Tree Days, our dedication to reforestation and climate education has placed us among the top schools championing a greener future.
🌱 What Is Just One Tree Day?
Just One Tree Day is a powerful initiative that empowers schools to take direct action against climate change by raising funds to plant trees in deforested areas around the world. Each tree planted helps restore biodiversity, absorb carbon dioxide, and protect ecosystems — making every student’s contribution a meaningful step toward healing the planet.
At Braunton Academy, our students and staff have embraced this mission wholeheartedly. From fundraising efforts to educational activities, our community has rallied together to make a real difference.
🌟 Becoming a Planet Hero School
Achieving Planet Hero status isn’t just a badge — it’s a reflection of our values. It means we’ve gone above and beyond in our environmental efforts, and we’re now part of a growing network of schools leading the charge against climate change.
We’re incredibly proud of this recognition and want the world to know: Braunton Academy is committed to protecting the planet for future generations.
🌎 Our Commitment to the Environment
Environmental stewardship is woven into the fabric of our school culture. Whether it’s through tree planting, sustainability projects, or climate awareness campaigns, we’re empowering our students to become thoughtful, informed global citizens.
This is just the beginning. As a Planet Hero School, we’ll continue to expand our green initiatives, inspire others to join the movement, and work toward a healthier, more sustainable world.
