Sustainable Schools
The Sustainable Schools website is aimed at a wide audience within the schools community. Practical resources, guidance and the inspiration they provide will help your school take its commitment to sustainability to the next level.
The DCSF would like all schools to be
sustainable by 2020, and to
prepare young people for a lifetime of sustainable living. This website
looks at what we mean by sustainable schools, and describes the DCSF’s
National Framework and related
programmes. As well as the latest guidance
for sustainable schools, it contains news from local authorities, local and national non-governmental organisations, and
provides links to a variety of dedicated support.
