Top School Awards

Our annual awards event is a great opportunity to showcase your hard work, incentivise students and staff and learn from some great keynote speakers.

Nominations for Top Schools in 2023-4 will open shortly. 

Well done to all the schools who were awarded TfL Travel for Life accreditation in September 2024! 

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. 

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.

We accept nominations from schools, parents, borough officers or anyone in the school community. 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. 

Last year the seven categories in Top Schools 2024 were 

Category one: Best Newcomer

Category two: Long Term Excellence

Category three: Modeshift Impact

Category four: Best Campaign
