Creating Greener, Responsible Schools that Empower Young People

Be part of
the Change

Take simple steps towards a better future for your students, school and the community. Becoming a ‘Responsible School’ means taking action and committing to a carbon positive future.

Join the Responsible Schools Programme.

Educate

We help schools calculate their carbon footprint and understand their impact and then set targets for change in the `Responsible School Action Plan’.

Engage

A student-led committee is formed, engaging students to create projects, campaigns and initiatives to help reduce the footprint.

Empower

We support teachers in training them in sustainability. Educators are equipped to develop a climate friendly curriculum in the classroom.

Greener education, Greener schools

Climate Action helps schools create a more appealing option to attract new students and parents, reduce costs and risk.

Greener education, greener schools

Our vision for a better future

We have big ambitions to help schools in the UK and internationally to cut their footprint and become sustainable. We want to empower students take an active role and become change-makers.

We aim to build a network of schools all working towards or building on Responsible School Status, allowing students to share successes with others, create league tables and offer awards.

There is no planet B: It is time to act

Start your journey towards becoming a Responsible School today and show your students, parents and community that you are committed to sustainable education.

The Responsible Schools Programme puts students at the heart of the project, creating change-makers who are ready to accept the challenge of saving our planet.
