TfL Travel for Life: Top schools nominations 2023-24 now open!

What are the Top Schools Awards?

The TfL Travel for Life team host an annual awards celebration to recognise the best work by schools in the programme. Whether your school has been part of the programme for years or are new to our programmes, it's a great opportunity to celebrate your achievements, be inspired and network with other schools.

What does it take to be a Top School?

To receive a TfL Travel for Life Top Schools Award you’ll need to have done something a bit special in the school year September 2023 - August 2024. Maybe your project was really creative or innovative, or maybe you’ve got powerful evidence that you changed the way people travel. Maybe you just started on the programme and brought a new energy to it or did something that inspired others make changes.

Who can nominate?

TfL accepts nominations from schools, borough officers or the Travel for Life Engagement Team. For each category, we shortlist four schools, who are invited to the Top Schools Award to find out if they are the London-wide category winner. Shortlisted schools can bring up to five pupils to our Top Schools Awards celebration, which take place at the Kia Oval.

Dates for your diary

The deadline to nominate a school is 20 January 2025 and the award ceremony will be taking place on 19 May 2025.
