Sustainable Schools

Award Schemes

If you have made some progress with environmental initiatives, or would like a framework and a goal to help you, why not consider entering for an Award?

Award and recognition schemes can provide a framework for schools who wish to improve their sustainability credentials. A number of popular local and national schemes are listed below. The government has also published a document (pdf 1Mb) which outlines how schools could use one of these and other national schemes as part of work undertaken within the National Framework for Sustainable Schools.

Hampshire Healthy Schools

The national Healthy Schools Standard provides schools with a framework for delivering their work, aiming to help raise educational achievement, to promote social inclusion and to help reduce health inequalities; it has four focus areas.

Trailblazer

It provides a structure for a variety of outdoor activities and a means of giving pupils credit and recognition for what they have done. It also provides access to a wide range of resources, people and places.
