The way we build and use our schools has a huge impact on the Sustainable Communities footprint and the world environment. Just like in homes or offices, lots of energy and water can be wasted in schools, contributing to climate change and putting more strain on our environment.

Not only this, but our actions in schools influence how the next generation will treat the environment: be greener and our children will learn to be greener too.

The Government in England wants every school to be a sustainable school by 2020. Do your bit and help make your school as sustainable as possible.

Join the Eco-schools Awards Programme

Get your school to join the International Eco-schools Programme and your school will win awards for its good work.

What is Eco schools?

Eco-Schools is an international award programme that guides schools on their sustainable journey, providing a framework to help embed these principles into the heart of school life.

There are 46 countries around the world that run the Eco-Schools programme, linking more than 40,000 schools, from the UK to Morocco.

Schools work towards gaining one of three awards:

Bronze
Silver and
Green Flag.
