Sustainable Schools

In 2009 we had a great sustainable schools launch day with local speakers including Zac Goldsmith MP and a day of activities about global warming.

The eight doorways to sustainability are:

  1. Food and drink
  2. Energy and water
  3. Travel and traffic
  4. Purchasing and waste
  5. Buildings and grounds
  6. Inclusion and participation
  7. Local well being
  8. The global dimension.

We have already achieved great progress in many of these areas with our ecology area (including vegetable plots), our solar panels helping us to manage and reduce our energy use and our work to avoid using cars to come to school.
