Better Planet Schools is an online environmental education programme, created by the Young People's Trust for the Environment to engage children and teachers in the UK's primary schools. The programme aims to engage students and teachers to learn about and take action on key issues like saving energy to tackle climate change; reducing use of plastics and other waste and increasing recycling; fast fashion; air pollution; and creating new habitats for wildlife to thrive.

Taking part in Better Planet Schools could give you all the evidence you need for great PAGES entry!

Schools choose three modules per year, with each module lasting 10-12 weeks. And every school submitting an end-of-module report gets entered into an end of term draw to win some great prizes, like a free energy survey, or class-sized activity packs.
