sustainabilty
Being a Forest School, sustainability is of course at the heart of all that we do. Using the woods, meadows and marshes as our classrooms, with nature themed weekly topics, sustainability and conservation is at the forefront of our little learners’ education.
We believe that early experiences in nature nurture a lifelong respect for the planet, and that small, consistent actions can have a lasting impact.
Our sustainability approach is structured into four focus areas—Decarbonisation, Climate Adaptation & Resilience, Enhancing Biodiversity, and Climate Education & Green Skills. These areas guide how we make decisions, design our curriculum, and involve our community in caring for the natural world. They ensure our work is balanced between reducing our environmental footprint, adapting to change, enriching our surroundings, and preparing children with the knowledge and skills they need for a sustainable future.
We recognise that caring for the environment is a shared responsibility. Staff lead by example, children contribute ideas and actions, and families are valued partners in our efforts. Together, we aim to cultivate a culture where sustainability is a way of life, embedded in our learning, daily routines, and community values.
For more details about our approach to sustainability, pleases see our sustainability policy, which is regularly reviewed and updated.
