Clean Air Day - Schools
Taking place in June each year, Clean Air Day is the UK’s largest air pollution campaign.
In the UK, the transport sector is the biggest source of greenhouse gases that are contributing to global climate change. Clean Air Day encourages schools to learn about air pollution and take practical, accessible and positive actions. By working together and taking small steps, our collective action can create big changes.
Clean Air Day 2026
This year, Clean Air Day takes place on Thursday 18 June. Hampshire secondary schools can sign up to receive free resources to help raise awareness about air pollution and consider how we can make the air we breathe cleaner and healthier.
Clean Air Day 2026 will not only give pupils the opportunity to learn and talk about air pollution, but by taking part, schools and pupils can enter our competition to win a great prize!
Please register your school now and we'll email all the resources and competition information ahead of the event, so you'll have everything you need to get involved.
Sign up for Clean Air Day 2026 by Monday 15 June
Clean Air Day 2025 - Banner competition for secondary schools
Last year 11 secondary schools took part in our air quality banner competition. Pupils could individually or collectively, create a catchy slogan to highlight the issue of air quality to parents, carers and the wider community.
Over 50 fantastic entries were received. Well done and thank you to all those who took part.
Winning slogan:
Do your share to clean the air! by a pupil from Toynbee School. They have won a £50 Love2Shop voucher and their banner will be made available to secondary schools in Hampshire.
Runners-up:
Cut the emissions for our clean air ambitions by a tutor group from The Hayling College.
Be part of the solution, not the pollution by a pupil from Wildern School.
Both runners-up receive a £25 Love2Shop voucher.
Thank you for your interest in Clean Air Day and for your continued interest in promoting the importance of clean air for people and the environment.
