CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
At Primary Learning Trust, we recognise our responsibility to protect the environment for the children and communities we serve. Climate change presents one of the greatest challenges of our time, and as a Trust educating future generations, we are committed to taking meaningful action.
Our Climate Action Plan sets out how we will reduce our environmental impact, embed sustainability across our schools, and play our part in building a greener, more sustainable future.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create sustainable schools where environmental responsibility is embedded into everyday practice, decision-making, and learning.
We aim to:
-
-
Educate and inspire future generations to tackle climate change.
-
Embed sustainability into all aspects of school life.
-
Embed sustainability into the curriculum using a variety of resources available.
-
Work towards the Trust’s shared goal of being Net Zero by 2050.
Primary Learning Trust has adopted four key pillars within our Climate Action Plan:
-
Decarbonisation
Reducing carbon emissions by cutting energy use, improving efficiency, and transitioning to low-carbon and renewable energy sources. -
Adaptation and Resilience
Preparing for and responding to the impacts of climate change by strengthening systems, buildings, and communities to withstand future risks. -
Biodiversity
Protecting and enhancing wildlife and natural habitats to support healthy ecosystems and promote environmental sustainability. -
Climate Education and Green Careers
Developing climate awareness, skills, and pathways that equip learners and staff for future green jobs and environmentally responsible leadership.
-
Measuring Progress
We are committed to transparency and accountability. Progress against our Climate Action Plan will be monitored and reviewed regularly, with actions updated as our understanding and opportunities develop.
We will celebrate successes, learn from challenges, and remain open to innovation and improvement.
Our Climate Action Plan is not a one-off document, but a living commitment. As a Trust, we are proud to be taking steps towards a more sustainable future and empowering our pupils to become responsible global citizens.
