SUSTAINABILITY

The trust has started work on our Sustainability strategy. We invited pupils to speak at our staff conference in October about the importance of responding to the climate emergency and take action to become more sustainable. The Trust has secured funding of £250,000 from the DfE to be invested in energy efficiency measures over the next 18 months. We will use these funds to invest in LED lighting and solar panels across the estate, as well as other works including thermal insulation of pipes. In parallel we have set up a staff group across schools to raise awareness and drive behaviour change with staff and students.
