Climate Action Plan

In April 2022, the Department for Education released a sustainability and climate change strategy specifically for education.  By September 2025, all education settings are expected to appoint a sustainability lead and develop a climate action plan.

Hornchurch Academy Trust schools are committed to supporting local and national initiatives which are aimed at protecting the world through direct climate action.  As a school we have an important role to play in reducing our environmental footprint but also in educating our children with the knowledge and skills to understand the importance of nature, sustainability and the causes and impact of climate change.

Our school vision is deeply rooted in preparing our pupils for the future and sustainability, along with global awareness and the need for climate change, is very much part of their future.  We strive to equip our students with the understanding and tools to make a positive impact on the world. Respect and care for the environment is integral to our school culture.  

Our school community – pupils, staff, parents and the wider local community – will work collaboratively to bring this plan to life. Engaging with everyone, listening to their ideas, and involving them in our green initiatives is crucial. We will continue to build on existing relationships and forge new partnerships, leveraging shared resources and support to help meet our sustainability goals.

Our school’s Sustainability Lead is Mrs Carabine
