The Woodland Trust awards schools for completing environmental projects and encouraging outdoor learning. The award allows schools to gain points for completing exciting and educational activities such as tree planting, photography, art and recycling, to progress through bronze, silver and gold levels to the prestigious platinum award. 

The Green Tree Schools initiative, which has seen almost 10,000 schools sign up since it was launched in 2008, offers the opportunity to bring the great outdoors, wildlife and green issues into the classroom.
