Sustainable Schools
Is your school sustainable? Act now!
Vision for Hampshire schools:
Hampshire schools will enable children to care for and respect each other, value their local environment and become responsible global citizens.Who could use this site?
If you are a student, teacher, governor, caretaker, bursar, admin officer or parent... this site is for you!
What could be achieved?
A school which leads by example and develops and manages its own environment efficiently, could use it as a learning tool. This agenda will help schools address the Every Child Matters outcomes, raise achievement, reduce environmental impact and save money on water, energy, waste and purchasing, involve the local community and prepare students for global citizenship. Many Hampshire schools are already progressing towards sustainability.

Tip - Switch off equipment
Switch off monitors at breaks and at the end of the day, and ensure that energy-saving features are set up and activated.
Screen savers do not save electricity, and some use more.
