Module description

Governing boards can take the decision to make environmental sustainability an organisational priority by identifying it as a key element of their school or trust strategy. In doing so, environmental considerations will then run throughout the organisation’s decision-making and all of their work.

This bitesize module will guide you through the background of environmental sustainability in schools, and why it matters. The module will also enable you to determine some practical next steps for your board, and will provide you with a helpful strategy document and some key questions to ask your board and leaders.
