Eco-Schools

Do your pupils want to take action on climate change, but don’t know where to start? Eco-Schools can help!

Delivered by Keep Britain Tidy, Eco-Schools England is the biggest environmental education programme on the planet!

1.4 million pupils at 4,300 schools around the UK are already taking action on climate change thanks to our award-shortlisted programme.

The Eco-Schools seven-step framework offers a simple way for nurseries, schools and colleges to integrate environmental learning into the curriculum and everyday activities.

It is also the fun and easy way to deliver a green curriculum and equip pupils with essential green skills.

Pupils taking part in the programme develop a sense of responsibility and cultivate a sustainable mindset that they can take with them throughout their lives

94% of teachers agree Eco-Schools has helped pupils learn about the environment while building confidence, teamwork and leadership skills.

It's also an easy way for sustainability leads to actively involve pupils in the development and delivery of your school or college’s climate action plan.

Register your school today and be ready to start your Eco-Schools journey in September. Or watch the video on the Eco-Schools England website to find out more.
