Green Flag renewal visits, applications & awards 2026

Green Flag renewals are coming!

Is your school going to apply for a Green Flag renewal this year? If so, read on for some important information and dates!

The deadline to submit your application is fast approaching, please ensure you have submitted your application no later than the 20th March 2026. 

Submit your application here: Greenflag 

NOTE: Your renewal visit must be completed before you submit your application. If you haven’t already, please reach out to your local Environmental Awareness Officer to arrange your visit as soon as possible at a time that suits you both (please be aware they will have a good number of visits already scheduled for the next two months and may have limited availability).  

 Find your EAO here: Website-EAO-Contact-details-to-arrange-a-Renewal-visit-2026.pdf 

 

If you have any questions about your theme or the application, you can contact the Theme teams through their direct email addresses.

If you are having any technical problems with the application, please contact Info@greenschoolsireland.org and our admin team will respond as soon as possible. 

 

Once your application is submitted, Green-Schools Officers will review your application and confirm if your application is successful. If you are not successful you will receive a letter explaining why you were not successful with recommendations on how to improve your application for next year.  

 

Global Action Days

If you are planning your school ACTION DAY for after the renewal deadline, why not link into a Global Movement and be a part of something bigger? 

This year FEE’s Global Action Days campaign is dedicated to Ecosystem Restoration. 

Learn more here and register your school’s Action Day to join the movement. 

We wish you all the very best of luck with your applications and renewal visits and we are looking forward to reading about all your hard work in your applications!
