Environmental education provides a valuable cross-curricular learning experience and can be delivered within National Curriculum key stages such as science.  It covers eco schools, healthy schools, ranger activities and much more.

Eco schools

Eco schools is an international award scheme for schools that aim to promote positive environmental attitudes, action and awareness. As well as raising the profile of the school within the community it is also an environmental management programme that can be incorporated into school planning.

It encourages team work and helps to create a shared understanding of what it takes to run a school in a way that respects and enhances the environment. The programme can help schools to improve their environment and reduce litter, waste, energy and water bills and promote healthier lifestyles.

Ranger service

Knowsley's rangers manage the countryside sites within the borough for everyone to enjoy. They involve communities in their local environment and bring environmental education programmes to local schools and colleges.  The rangers also deliver an annual programme of events and activities including natural history walks, sporting activities and park events that help local people enjoy their parks and open spaces.  Find out more about Knowsley's Play Ranger Service.
