PLANET FRIENDLY MISSIONS

Practical eco-action for primary schools

Missions

Choose a mission and take action in a way that works for your school.

Each half-term, three new Planet Friendly Missions are released around a common environmental theme. Pick the mission that best suits your pupils, use the resources to get started, then submit evidence when you’ve completed your action.

 

Missed an earlier mission? No problem. Previously released missions stay available during the academic year, so schools can catch up or revisit resources at any time.

 

You do not need to complete every mission. Start with one, build from there and grow your school’s PFM status over the year.
