Eco-Schools Green Flag Award and Blippit Boards (2026 app ver. 3+)

Blippit Boards can help your school collect and organise evidence for the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award while continuing to capture everyday curriculum moments in exactly the same way you do now.

There is no need for a separate system or extra workload. Schools simply use Eco-Schools tags alongside their usual subject and curriculum tags inside the Blippit Boards app.

Eco-Schools tagging in Blippit Boards

Blippit includes a dedicated Eco-Schools tagging category.

This enables schools to:

• capture Eco-Schools activity as it naturally happens across the curriculum
• link evidence to their three Eco-Schools priorities
• collect contributions from multiple colleagues
• see progress building as evidence grows
• generate reports directly in the app

Teachers simply tag the moment once; it can count for both:

• curriculum
• Eco-Schools Green Flag

No duplicate photographing, saving, or uploading is required.

How schools typically use Blippit for Eco-Schools

A simple approach that works well:

1. Agree your three Eco-Schools priorities
2. Ask staff to capture moments as usual
3. When a moment relates to Eco-Schools, add:
   • normal curriculum tags (subject, year, etc.)
   • the relevant Eco-Schools tag
4. Add a short note explaining the context

This allows schools to build Eco-Schools evidence in parallel without a separate process. In Blippit's charts you are given a dedicated at-a-glance chart for all Eco-Schools evidence. Go deeper and filter by year group/stage so it is clear where Green Flag relevant contributions are coming from as part of your monitoring.

Finding Eco-Schools evidence inside the app

Within the Blippit Boards app, Subject Leads or Eco-Coordinators can:

• filter boards by Eco-Schools tags
• see all Eco-Schools-related boards together
• view which priorities have evidence already
• spot areas where more evidence may be needed

Because everything is in the same app (Blippit Boards v3+)

• there is no folder chasing
• no printing or email collecting
• no switching between dashboard and app

You’re simply filtering the same moments staff are already capturing.

‍

Creating an Eco-Schools evidence report

From inside the app you can:

• filter by your Eco-Schools tags
• select the relevant boards
• generate a report instantly (PDF or Docx)

Reports can then be:

• shared internally
• used in meetings
• submitted as supporting curriculum contextualised Green Flag evidence

Videos are included via QR codes where appropriate, keeping reports compact while still allowing the evidence to be seen and heard.
