Climate Action for Schools

 

Why do schools need to get involved in Climate Action?

There are many benefits for schools to be engaged in Climate Action: 

  • DfE sustainability and climate change strategy aims to empower pupils and those working in education to fight climate change both inside and outside the classroom. 
  • Curriculum development in Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE), Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC), British Values, Citizenship, Geography and Science. 
  • Links through Ofsted's inspection framework. 
  • Overall financial reduction in running costs.   
  • Being part of a world change.
