Sustainability at Crosfields

We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and have committed to:

• Educating our pupils about the impact of our day-to-day activities on the environment in Geography, Science, PSHE and Forest School. Encouraging our pupils to raise new ideas and initiatives through our Eco Councils.
• Making positive choices through procurement of services and operations and partnering with organisations that take their sustainable responsibilities seriously.
• Sourcing goods and services locally where possible and reducing the number of delivery days to help reduce emissions.
• Reducing our energy consumption year on year, by adopting more energy efficient practices and using cleaner energy sources where possible.
• Minimising the waste that goes to landfill and maximising all recycling, biodegradable and compostable opportunities.
• Promoting sustainable methods of travel to school to pupils, parents and staff – walking, cycling, public transport, electric vehicle charging on site and our own school transport routes.
• Using a sustainable school uniform supplier, and also encouraging the recycling of old school uniforms through our second hand school uniform shop.
