Climate Action

At Nettlebed, we aim to prepare our children for their futures by helping them understand their role in caring for the world around them. We strive to develop confident, independent thinkers who recognise that their actions matter and who approach environmental challenges with a positive, ‘can do’ attitude. 

In order to make this a reality, climate action is embedded across our curriculum and wider school life. Pupils are actively involved through our Eco Council, who so far this term have... litter picked, made bug hotels, recruited light monitors and timer chargers for school devices. Forest School, where the children experience and learn in and about their local environment. we also provide an opportunity for a small number of children to experience therapeutic and mindful gardening sessions, the children learn about growing seasonal plants and produce, to diversify our school environment.  

We work closely with 'Eco-Schools' and 'Count Your Carbon' to reflect and improve our environmental impact. We use these to create our climate action plan that we update each term with relevant goals and challenges.

Through a strong, supportive school community, we aim to empower our pupils to become responsible, informed and hopeful citizens for the future.
