Sustainability

Our Vision

We are proud to support the UK Department for Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy. This means we are working towards:

  • Reducing our school’s carbon footprint

  • Supporting nature and biodiversity

  • Preparing children to thrive in a changing world

Our approach isn’t just about one-off activities—it’s about weaving sustainability into everything we do, from how we teach to how we run our school.

Whole School Action

We are taking practical steps to make sustainability part of daily school life. These include:

  • We are currently developing a Climate Action Plan to guide how we reduce energy use, waste, and emissions across the school. This can be viewed below.

  • Miss Webster is our Sustainability Lead - helping to coordinate and grow our eco-initiatives.

  • Energy monitoring tools - We use Energy Sparks, a free platform that helps us monitor our energy use and involve pupils in finding ways to save electricity and reduce waste.

  • Sustainability in the curriculum - Sustainability isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we teach and experience across many subjects:

    • Science – children explore ecosystems, materials, energy, and environmental changes

    • Geography – pupils learn about climate, weather, land use, and global environmental issues

    • Cross-Curricular Links – eco-topics are linked into writing, art, design, and more

    • Outdoor Learning – we make the most of our school grounds and green spaces to learn about nature, wildlife, and seasonal changes

    Our curriculum supports the national aim to increase climate literacy and help children develop the knowledge and skills needed to care for the planet.

  • Outdoor & Community projects - We encourage hands-on experiences that connect pupils with the environment. Recent projects include:

    • Tree planting and litter picks

    • Wildlife garden design

    • Recycling campaigns

    • Whole school grounds day
