Before starting your Eco-Schools journey you will need to find a member of staff from your school who is willing to volunteer to become your Eco-Coordinator. Most Eco-Coordinators (from our 18,600 registered Eco-Schools) are geography or science teachers, form tutors, heads of year or even deputy/head teachers.
Once they have agreed to help and registered your school you will be able to start working on the Seven Steps.
Working towards a Green Flag can help your school gain a positive Ofsted report as well as boosting your CV or UCAS application form. Our Seven Steps Skills document shows some of the skills you will develop when working towards our Green Flag award.
