The flags are courtesy of the The Cooperative Cymru\Wales and were launched in North Wales, South Wales, Mid Wales and West Wales, in the following schools Ysgol Bryn Alyn in Wrexham, Machynlleth Primary School in Powys, Parc Lewis Primary School in Pontypridd, Ysgol Dyffryn Taf, Carmarthenshire. All Schools who have gained the status will be receiving the flags over the coming months.
