Sustainability

Tandridge Learning Trust (TLT) is committed to working towards a more sustainable future; therefore, we aim to use resources in a way that can be maintained over time, without depleting them.

We believe that schools will play a critical role in contributing to the national initiative to cut carbon emission levels. Across a single school or Multi-Academy Trust, changes such as reducing electricity use and improving the energy-efficiency of buildings can have a huge impact.  Schools can also help pupils and students to be more sustainable in decision-making and to have a positive effect on climate change.

We are working in partnership with Let’s Go Zero - the national campaign uniting teachers, pupils, parents and their schools as they all work together to be zero carbon by 2030.

Each of our schools is putting in place a climate action plan, which covers the following areas:

  • Decarbonisation – taking actions to reduce carbon emissions, e.g. becoming more energy efficient
  • Adaptation and resilience – e.g. taking actions to reduce the risk of flooding and overheating
  • Biodiversity – e.g. by engaging with the National Education Nature Park
  • Climate education and green careers – making sure the education we provide gives knowledge-rich and comprehensive teaching about climate change, and that our staff feel supported and actively encouraged to develop this

For more information on what each school is doing, please visit the relevant website.
