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 £100 cash 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 for 2024 is St John’s Primary Academy in Stafford, who are working hard to engage all pupils with nature and the benefits of being outside. Last year’s winners were Burton Fields School, who have improved a pond, made bug hotels, installed bug houses, composted waste, created a bog garden, log piles and a bird feeding station and planted a wildflower meadow…the list goes on! They have also planted more than 100 trees.
