Is your school sustainable? Act now!

DfES Sustainable Schools web site

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.

Where should I start?  

Right here!  Go to the Action! pages which have a section on each of the Sustainable School framework 'doorways', including links to further information and specialists who can help in each area.
