Sign up to Zero Carbon Schools - a comprehensive programme of climate education and pupil-powered climate action
Green Schools Project helps schools transform how they respond to the climate crisis.
They do this through Zero Carbon Schools, a comprehensive package of resources, training, and support created by teachers, for teachers. The award-winning programme provides a wealth of resources, including two teacher-training sessions to equip staff with the confidence and knowledge to bring climate and nature into learning.
Zero Carbon Schools includes links across the curriculum including science, maths, geography, English, and PSHE. As such, the primary school programme is designed to be delivered in curriculum time, while the secondary school programme provides a perfect framework for an Eco Team.
The programme enables pupils to be active participants. Using a school-specific carbon calculator, schools will be supported to estimate their carbon footprint, providing meaningful context for the projects that the pupils design and lead to take action on climate change. Through these hands-on projects, pupils learn essential skills such as teamwork, communication, and leadership.
The programme comes highly recommended - here are a few highlights from Green Schools Projectβs most recent Impact Report:
