Sustainable Schools Strategy

The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) Sustainable Schools Strategy aims to empower children to lead sustainable lives by teaching them the skills and behaviours needed to become part of the solution to the world's big challenges, rather than part of the problem.

Sustainable Schools are about helping young people and improving the communities and environments in which they live. By becoming sustainable, a school can save money, improve the health, fitness and emotional well being of its pupils, and contribute to local social and environmental goals.
