Statement of intent

At St Laurence C of E Primary we are committed to educating our pupils about environmental concerns and the importance of living sustainably. We recognise our responsibility to ensure that pupils are prepared for a world impacted by climate change through learning and practical experience. 

We encourage both pupils and staff to think about the environment and how their actions will impact upon their local surroundings, as well as the global environment. 

Effective use of this policy will ensure pupils are taught about environmental sustainability, promote an eco-friendly attitude, and ensure that the school itself is as sustainable as it can be.
