Sustainability and Climate Change

Leading climate change...

In accordance with the government’s requirements, by September 2025 St Andrew’s CE will have nominated a sustainability lead and have a Sustainability and Climate Action Plan in place aiming to reach Net Zero by 2030.

Through this plan, St Andrew’s CE aims to undertake, adapt and educate the children, staff and local community about sustainability initiatives and the impact of climate change on our world. As a result, our children will have the knowledge and skills for life in the future and to always show love and respect to their environment.

1. Excellence in education and skills for a changing world: preparing all young people for a world impacted by climate change through learning and practical experience.

2. Net zero: reducing direct and indirect emissions from education and care buildings, driving innovation to meet legislative targets and providing opportunities for children and young people to engage practically in the transition to net zero.

3. Resilience to climate change: adapting our education and care buildings and system to prepare for the effects of climate change.

4. A better environment for future generations: enhancing biodiversity, improving air quality and increasing access to, and connection with, nature in and around education and care settings.
