“The government wants all schools to become sustainable schools by 2020 … However, most of the schools visited had limited knowledge of sustainability and work in this area tended to be uncoordinated” Ofsted report, May 2008

This passionate yet highly practical book is designed to inspire all those involved in running our schools – headteachers, governors, senior managers, teachers, SIPs, Children’s Services departments – with information about how “green” principles can be applied to their buildings, use and curriculum.

Packed with hands-on advice it contains:

• scores of suggestions on what individual schools can do to become sustainable

• examples of schools that have pioneered sustainability

• ways of using sustainable development across the curriculum

• a development of each of the government’s “eight doorways” to sustainability

• ideas for ensuring new school buildings are fully sustainable and for adapting old ones to reduce their carbon footprint

• a questionnaire to establish your own starting point

• sources of further information

Moreover, the book shows how embracing sustainable principles need not be an expensive option but can actually help save money.
