Suffolk Sustainable Schools Network

What does the network do?

Through our network, school leaders and teachers are supported to create a climate action plan for their entire school for free. This is something that the Department for Education expects all schools to have. A climate action plan focuses on four areas:

   Decarbonisation

   Adaptation & resilience

   Biodiversity 

   Climate education & green careers

There’s also plenty of opportunity to learn from and network with other schools’ staff and teachers. Join over half of all Suffolk secondary schools that have already signed up!

Why join?

Sustainability is a school-wide issue and therefore all school staff, both operational and curriculum-based, can become a member of the network. Members will receive the following: 

• Half-termly newsletter & network meetings​ 

• Guidance for climate action planning ​

• Funded opportunities​ including free energy audits 

• School sustainability resources 

• Signposting​ to advice & funding 

• Support for whole school initiatives​
