SWPS SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do

Sir William Perkins's School are Finalists for Independent School of the Year for Environmental Achievement

 

Sustainability is embedded into our whole school community and is a high priority.  As a school we are aware of our role to educate and collaborate and we champion Sustainability and Climate Change Education so that each member of our community acquires the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and value necessary to shape a sustainable future and the impact of our practice reverberates in school, in the local community and nationally.  SWPS has a social responsibility to equip our community with the skills and knowledge to understand the impact of current human behaviour on the planet and ways to change it.  

Sustainability is an essential part of our educational offering at SWPS and we aspire for each member of our community to appreciate, value, and connect with the natural world. Our aim is to encourage our community to appreciate the advantages of living in a cleaner, greener environment.

Among other activities students and organise book and clothes swaps, make use of separated general waste and recycling waste bins, avoid printing documents where possible and support local food banks and food collection points to avoid food wastage.
