Climate Action Plan

Sustainability

Secretary of State for Education, the Rt Hon Nadhim Zahawi MP stated that

'The challenge of climate change is formidable. For children and young people to meet it with determination, and not with despair, we must offer them not just truth, but also hope. Learners need to know the truth about climate change – through knowledge-rich education. They must also be given the hope that they can be agents of change, through hands-on activity and, as they progress, through guidance and programmes allowing them to pursue a green career pathway in their chosen field'

At Queensmead we have the privilege to be able to engage directly with children and young people who:

• are passionate about the natural world
• want to do their best to protect it
• can influence their wider communities

We provide opportunities to develop a broad knowledge and understanding of the importance of nature, sustainability and the causes and impact of climate change and to translate this knowledge into positive action and solutions. 

We are very proud of our pupils who take a keen and active interest in sustainability to support their futures, have their voices heard about how they want to impact the operation of the Academy with sustainability in mind and are given the agency to make a difference.
