How to apply
Any school can apply for Bumblebee-friendly Schools accreditation, no matter its size or age group. Schools without access to a green space can still take part by using any small outdoor area that can be set aside.
Once your school has completed all of the actions required for the Bronze, Silver or Gold award, you can apply for Bumblebee-friendly Schools accreditation.
You will be required to submit evidence for the completion of each action. Information on how to collect evidence can be found on the individual wing information pages below. Please ensure you have collected all of your evidence before applying. There is a £30 application fee.
Your application will then be reviewed by us. If your application is successful, you will receive a Bumblebee-friendly Schools accreditation certificate and digital logo.
Bumblebee-friendly Schools accreditations are valid for two years from the date of issue.
