For over 30 years, the Eco-Schools framework has supported schools to increase environmental education and deliver projects that increase sustainability, develop green skills and model green careers. Check out the video below and read on to learn more!
Seven Steps
Our seven steps are designed to be delivered across one academic year. They help you to form a pupil led Eco-Committee and assess how sustainable your site and curriculum is, before designing and delivering hands-on ‘Eco-Projects’ – activities that create positive environmental impacts in your school or local community.
Seven StepsThe Eco-Schools Green Flag
As nurseries and schools progress their work, they can upload evidence of their great work to our application portal. Between May 1st and July 31st, nurseries and schools submit their application for our international award – the Eco-Schools Green Flag. Flying the flag lets the world know that your nursery/school is empowering young people to take action to improve the environment for their future.
