Climate Action Plan
A climate action plan helps schools protect their pupils, their community, and their future. As extreme weather, rising energy costs, and biodiversity loss increasingly affect everyday life, schools need a clear strategy to respond. A climate action plan sets out practical steps to reduce carbon emissions, make buildings and grounds more resilient, and give children the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in a changing world.
It supports learning across the curriculum, strengthens links with families and the local community, and helps schools save money through energy efficiency and waste reduction. Most importantly, it empowers pupils to become confident, responsible citizens who understand how their choices shape the world they will inherit.
A climate action plan ensures the school is not just reacting to challenges, but leading by example—creating a healthier, greener, and more hopeful future for everyone.
