Applying for your Green Flag
Log on to your Eco-Schools account to apply for our internationally recognised Green Flag award.
Once you have worked through the Eco-Schools Seven Steps it is time to apply for an international, Eco-Schools Green Flag award, which you can do by logging in to your Eco-Schools account. The great news is that we have worked hard to make our Green Flag application as simple and quick as possible: it should take no longer than thirty minutes to complete.
The online Green Flag application asks for:
- 3 brief examples of the curriculum work your school has completed linked to any of our ten topics
- A brief description of how you have monitored and communicated your topic actions
- Tick boxes and simple questions relating to your Eco-Schools topic actions.
As well as completing a Green Flag application, you will also be asked to submit the following documents (please read Uploading Evidence below before completing your Green Flag application):
- Your completed Environmental Review
- Your Action Plan
- A clear photograph of your Eco-Board.
Finally, you will also need to select dates when your school is available to be assessed – Eco-Schools relies on volunteer assessors, so we recommend choosing as many dates as possible. Before we assign an assessor to your school, we will double check that your school is still available on the date the assessor has chosen.
