Despite its popularity, little evidence exists to support the impact of the Green Schools programme on pupils’ environmental literacy. This paper sought to discover how impactful the programme is. A mixed methodology was used, and research focused on the perspectives of teachers involved with the programme. Participants strongly agreed that the programme impacts pupils’ environmental literacy, that it provided pupils with opportunities to make significant environmental contributions and to influence the environmental decisions of others. This contrasted with findings in other studies. Overall, it was found that the Green Schools programme is an impactful programme, worthy of consideration.Collections
