How does a school get involved?

Any teacher, teaching assistant or local charity volunteer can nominate a young person (and as many young people as they wish!) for the YES Award at their school*. We invite teachers, teaching assistants or volunteers to complete an online nomination form for any young people who they feel have...

...gone 'beyond and above' to help make their school allotment/garden possible and/or have set a 'clear inspirational example' to other young people at their school.

Nominations for the YES Award open from after February half-term until May 29th with certificates being presented in June.

If you would like to nominate a young person or a group of young people for a YES Award, please click here to complete a quick and easy nomination form. We will confirm that we have received your nomination(s).

*Please note that the YES Award is only for Norfolk secondary schools that are on our Membership Programme for Schools: .
