Sustainability

At the David Ross Education Trust, we are committed to building a greener, more sustainable future for our students, staff and communities. Every academy plays a part in reducing our environmental impact and inspiring young people to take positive action for the planet. On this page, you’ll find our school’s Climate Action Plan along with updates on projects and activities that showcase how we are putting sustainability into practice.

Current Projects & Activities

 Reducing our Carbon Footprint - FOOD

 As a school we feel it is important for children to know how to grow food sustainably and understanding the importance of many of the elements that take place when succssfully growing crops. We grow our own fruit and vegetables. The children start this in reception and can follow this all the way through their schooling until year 6.

Sustainable Forest School

The school has a wonderful forest school that supports the learning of our own pupils and also those pupils from a local specialist school. To ensure that the forest continues to thrive and is sustainable over time, the school reuses and repurposes the bark and trunks of fallen or felled trees on site to replenish the wood stock. This also enhances the forest with naturally grown amenities, eg converting the trunk into seats.
