Nominations open for Green School Awards

The awards focus on the best school-led initiatives in the following categories: green travel to school and road safety, energy conservation, nature conservation and recycling.

Schemes should link to schools to some degree, perhaps with the original idea being generated by a school but then carried out either in school or in pupils’ homes or the wider community.

Nominations must be submitted by Sunday 11 December at the green school awards website

Suggested examples of possible initiatives to nominate could involve a poster design competition to reduce electricity use staged in school with pupil’s posters being used in the family home or parents’ place of work; homework project to design and build a bird house that is used in the pupil’s garden. And of course the county’s walk to school schemes and associated road safety work are also celebrated through the Green School Awards. Initiatives can focus solely on school grounds such as a recycling campaign created and delivered on school premises or the creation of a nature conservation area or kitchen garden to grow vegetables used in the school kitchens.

An awards celebration event will take place at the Kent Cricket Club, Canterbury in February. The Green School awards are staged by the KM Charity Team which delivers the walk to school campaign and Buster's Book Club home reading scheme in the county's Primary schools.

The Green School Awards will be staged in February 2017. All nominations must be submitted by midnight on Sunday December 11.
