Turton and Edgworth CE/Methodist, on Bolton Road, Daisyfield Primary School, on Clinton Street, and The Redeemer CEP, on Jack Walker Way, claimed the top spots winning up to £150 each in high street vouchers.
The winning classes received their prizes at special assemblies held in their schools in February and March.
Eighteen schools in total took part in the event last autumn which was designed to promote the importance of conserving energy.
The classes were required to give a presentation on what energy is and ways of conserving it, then take part in a multiple choice quiz.
A letter was also sent home to parents with an energy questionnaire to complete and win prizes.
So far nearly 100 energy saving prizes have been given to borough homes.
Councilor Alan Cottam, executive member for regeneration and environment, said: “The event was designed to engage the children in activities and help them choose energy saving ideas that they can put into action themselves.
“My congratulations go to everyone who took part, especially the winning classes.”
Owing to the success of last year’s event there are plans to repeat it this autumn. Invites have been sent to all Blackburn & Darwen Schools.
