Schools' Environment Award - Levels Of Award
There are two levels within the Award, these are: the Schools' Environment Award; and the Schools' Environment Award - Advanced Level.
We recognise that many schools already conduct themselves in some or all of the areas at the first level. This scheme is an opportunity to gain formal recognition of the standard set by the Schools' Environment Award. The Advanced Level has more demanding targets to take schools to higher environmental standards.
