5. Active travel

This category covers what your school and pupils are doing to help reduce car use on the school run and encouraging walking, cycling and scooting to school.

Greenest school

An overall award, Greenest school, will be presented to the best performing school. Only schools that have entered all the categories will be considered for this award.

A strong energy efficiency and active travel entries are important here, but we are also looking for schools who have embedded environmental sustainability into everyday school life

For each category, a strong application will:

- focus on activities initiated by the school itself

- include photographs or other evidence of activities

- explain the results of activities and impacts on the school

If you have your own garden why not enter our business and residential awards!
