Sustainability and Climate Action
At Stockton on the Forest, we educate our pupils about the importance of respecting and taking care of the environment. We have a committed team to ensure that we are acting towards sustainability and a committed team of children that lead on environmental initiatives in school. We celebrate our beautiful environment through taking opportunities for outdoor learning and each class has a forest learning session every half term.
Our climate action plan includes the following 4 key pillars:
- adaptation and resilience: how the setting is preparing for and responding to the impacts of climate change
- biodiversity and nature: efforts to protect and enhance nature and wildlife within the setting and its surroundings
- climate education and green skills: how learners are supported to understand climate change, sustainability, and develop relevant skills
- decarbonisation and net zero: actions to measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, working towards net zero
The sustainability and climate change strategy for education states: “By 2025, all education settings will have nominated a sustainability lead and put in place a climate action plan” Sustainability leadership and climate action plans in education - GOV.UK
