We want to recognise those who go above and beyond to educate the next generation about conservation, so we are celebrating conservation success with our 2024 National Conservation Education Awards, celebrating excellence across the whole education sector.
If your staff member, team or school achieved something special during the past couple of years, we want to hear about it! These awards are a fantastic way to celebrate your achievements with colleagues, boost morale and gain wider recognition for your hard work and successes.
There are 3 main award categories, with separate awards for primary and secondary schools. The categories are:
Outstanding Conservation Educator
Do you know of a member of staff who has found an innovative way to teach conservation that helps pupils understand more about the world around them and take conservation action? Tell us their story! We’re looking for educators who’ve made children excited about saving the world.
Outstanding Conservation School
Are you proud of the way your school has sparked a passion for wildlife and conservation in your pupils? Have you been working with the local community to create a culture of conservation? Do all your children love coming to school? Have you changed your curriculum to put the conservation of nature and our planet at its heart?
Outstanding Conservation Initiative
Do you know of an innovative project or initiative that has helped pupils understand more about the world around them or work together to achieve conservation action? Tell us about it! We’d love to hear about all the incredible conservation initiatives your schools have developed.
Entry is free and is open to all schools throughout the UK. Nominations can be made for multiple categories but a separate nomination form must be completed for each category.
Read our awards guidance and terms and conditions.
Shortlisted nominees will be invited to a celebration evening at The Square, Chester Zoo on Thursday 11 July 2024 where the winners will be presented.
Submit your nomination form by midnight on Sunday 19 May 2024.
Entries received after this date will not be considered for the 2024 awards but may be considered for future awards.
We have SO MUCH to offer when it comes to learning. From dozens of amazing LEARNING RESOURCES, to our fun and educational SCHOOL TRIPS.
