BDCEP has a busy and exciting programme of events coming up in early 2026, offering pupils and school staff opportunities to explore democracy, sustainability, creativity, and green careers. All primary, secondary and special schools are welcome unless otherwise stated.

This year’s Braintree District Council Chairman’s Christmas Card Competition was a huge success, with over 50 fantastic entries from schools across the district.

We’re delighted by the incredible response to our Rail Art Competition! The winning entries are to be proudly displayed at Braintree Train Station in the New Year, bringing vibrant creativity to the heart of our community.

‘We asked students what they would like to see in their school and were delighted with their ideas! Got an idea for a workshop or project you would like to run in your school?

With the support from the Royal Society Places of Science scheme and participation from local children.

We were delighted to hear that 3 schools in Braintree District achieved the Anglian Water Eco Advocates Award.  This is an annual award and there will be a new round starting in September 2025.
