London Schools Environment Awards

The London Schools Environment Awards, open to all London's primary schools, were set up in 2003 to develop children’s sense of responsibility for their environment.

The awards are an opportunity for the younger generation to learn about their world and the implications that we as humans have on the planet. All steps within the LSEA are working towards economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Since inception the LSEA has had 3200 schools register for the awards. The 2007/8 year saw over 200,000 children participating in the awards via their schools, with over 580 schools registering.

Each year prizes are awarded to two schools in each of the 33 London boroughs - 66 prizes in total!:

A Distinction Award and Ł2,000
A Highly Commended Award and Ł1,000

Every school that registers is sent a free Environmental Toolbox packed with information and practical environmental items to use inside and outside the classroom.
