RENAULT MANCHESTER TO RAISE THE FLAG WITH CATHEDRAL SCHOOL

Renault Manchester will be flying the flag for the Cathedral School of St Peter & St John RC Primary at the school’s special ECO-Day next week.

The Mount Street-based school was recently awarded the prestigious Green Flag status in recognition of its work to help the environment which means it is now an accredited Eco-School.

Upon learning of Cathedral School’s achievement, Renault Manchester, in Trinity Way, immediately offered to purchase the flagpole for the big day as part of its continuing support for the local community in Salford.

The Mayor of Salford, Councillor Eric Burgoyne, and the Mayoress will be attending the school’s ECO-Day event on Wednesday, June 15 to officially raise the flag at 2pm after a short speech. 

Cathedral School Head Teacher Margaret O’Brien:  “The School has worked extremely hard in promoting our role as stewards of the planet and how every little bit counts.

“The achievement of Green Flag Status is recognition of the effort everyone has made. We hope the importance of caring for our environment will remain with the children as they go through life.

“The School is very grateful for the assistance received from everyone involved and we thank Renault Manchester for kindly purchasing the flagpole.”

Renault Manchester General Manager Jim Schofield said: “It is really hard to reach these standards so this is an amazing achievement for the Cathedral School.

“As soon as we heard about it we wanted to be involved so we are delighted to have been able to help in some way. We thank them for inviting us to the Eco-Day and look forward to the official raising of the flag!”
