About the Schools' Environment Award
We have launched 'The Schools Environment Award' for the third year. We have really enjoyed supporting and rewarding young people as they learn, and take action to reduce their environmental impact. This year we want to make it even easier to gain the award.
We have incorporated the government's requirement for a climate action plan. This means you can fulfil the government's requirement and gain an award at the same time.
How to sign up
If you are interested, you can contact us by email at wasteaware@bcpcouncil.gov.uk.
We'll reach out to you in September with more information.
When you sign up
After you've signed up, you will receive a teacher's pack containing topics covering key subjects such as:
- food
- water
- waste
- nature
- litter
- transport
- climate action
These come with attainment levels of bronze, silver, gold, platinum and platinum plus.
We will also hold 3 network meetings each year, providing schools the opportunity to request support and share feedback on their efforts and experiences.
