Sustainable schools celebration 2018
Our first Sustainable Schools Celebration evening, an opportunity to celebrate the dedication and commitment of staff, students, parents, and volunteers to improve our environment, health and wellbeing in schools in Leicester, took place on Tuesday 30 October 2018.
Further information
Nominees were selected by members of the environment, health and wellbeing group. The group is made up of nearly 50 professionals, who work within Leicester City Council, or organisations that provide environmental or health services to schools in partnership with the council. Many members of the group will be attending the evening.
