Supporting primary schools' access to a new online learning platform that enables children to learn about and take action to reduce their school's impact on the environment.

Situation
Schools have a significant environmental impact. For example, the average UK school's energy bill is £31k per year. Children often learn about environmental issues in school, but don't necessarily learn how they can take action to make a difference.
Solution
betterplanetschools.org.uk provides primary schools with 3 online learning modules per academic year, each of which contains lessons, worksheets and activities designed to be undertaken during a term. Modules provide children with the information they need to act more responsibly towards the environment, together with a programme of child-led behaviour change. Schools taking part in the pilot project saw their energy usage reduce by 10-15% as a result of child-led behaviour change.
