Green Schools Trophy

CPRE Staffordshire runs an annual Green Schools award scheme. All Staffordshire schools are invited to showcase their conservation and environmental projects for a chance to win and hold the CPRE Green Schools’ Trophy for a year.

We look for inspiring projects that contribute to the protection, conservation or improvement of the local environment. This could be through cutting down on single-use plastics, practical conservation work, creating wildlife habitats, promoting energy-saving or waste reduction/recycling, green transport schemes or any other original idea your school may come up with.

The winning school in 2025 was St Peters CE Academy in Stoke-On-Trent, impressing judges with their dedication to protecting and enhancing their local wildlife through installing bird and bat boxes; keeping their local environment clean through organising community litter picking and launching engaging recycling initiatives.
