Climate Action Plan

Our Climate Action Plan sets out how we will develop our school to secure a sustainable future across our buildings, outdoor spaces and the curriculum. It is built around four key pillars that together promote improved wellbeing, enriched learning opportunities and positive environmental impact for our pupils and the wider community.

We are committed to meeting the Department for Education’s expectation that all schools work towards achieving net zero by 2050. To do this, we will reduce our carbon footprint, embed sustainability throughout our curriculum, involve parents in our sustainability journey and collaborate closely with our local community.

We will contribute to the Government’s sustainability goals by:

-Including elements of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (2015) in our curriculum.

-Spending time outside, learning about the weather, seasonal changes, planting, growing etc.

-Engaging parents in their children’s sustainability curriculum where possible.

-Working with colleagues to support local community projects.

-We recognise that we have a bigger role to play in the Government’s aim to reach net zero by 2050.

-We want to reduce our carbon footprint even more and we will challenge ourselves to improve our sustainability through termly reflection and planning future projects.

-We are always looking for new projects to get involved in within the local community.

To support the Department for Education’s goal for all education settings to reach net zero by 2050, schools are required to produce a Climate Action Plan. The DfE outlines that this plan should focus on four key areas:

• Adaptation and resilience
• Biodiversity
• Climate education and green careers
• Decarbonisation

We have been awarded the Eco-Schools Bronze Award for our work!
