For over twenty years the Society has made annual awards to six schools in recognition of work they have carried out to improve their immediate environments. Typically schools have undertaken major programmes of work on their own grounds, bringing together teams comprising pupils, teachers, parents and governors. In some cases local businesses have provided sponsorship of materials to support these projects.

Nominations for these awards are received by one of the Advisors in the City Council Directorate of Learning and Culture who subsequently makes recommendations to the Society. The awards are presented to pupils representing the schools at the Annual General Meeting.
