Schools & Education
So much is happening within South Yorkshire and we have put it all in one place for you. We recommend as a first step using eco-schools and gaining green flag status. There may be other things you want to find out more about or look into - feel free to contact us if you want to discuss this more and we can put you in touch with the right person.
We are in the process of confirming with the organisations below if they have carbon calculators which organisations can use as a first step to becoming carbon neutral.
School's Climate Education
South Yorkshire
SCESY support students, teachers and schools on their climate education journey. From reducing carbon emissions in their school to moving on in society as active citizens with respect for the world environment. We recommend signing up to their newsletter.
Let's go zero
Let’s Go Zero is the national campaign uniting teachers, pupils, parents and their schools as they all work together to be carbon zero by 2030. They are also working with national government to ensure the right support is in place to help all schools reach this goal through seven policy actions.
Friends of the Earth - KS3 Resources
'Climate justice, hope and action' is a set of free KS3 teaching resources which supports a diverse curriculum, and aims to empower students and develop critical thinking.
Eco-schools
Eco-schools are a charity passionate about engaging young people in environmental education and action. They do this by providing a simple, seven-step framework that guides, empowers and motivates pupils to drive change and improve environmental awareness in their school, local community and beyond.
