Sustainability
Through a whole Trust approach, driven by a desire to educate, nurture and empower our 700 staff and over 4700 students to be sustainable citizens, we are embedding sustainability into everything we do.
We recognise the potential impact and influence that we have on our environment, and are committed to tackling environmental issues and sustainability for a greener future.
Our Sustainability Vision
In partnership with our staff, students and communities, we will provide resources and opportunities to educate, nurture and empower all to make sustainability commitments that lead to a positive impact on our environment.
Eco Schools
A simple, seven-step framework that several of our Primary Academies follow. We are especially proud of Manston St James C of E Primary Academy for achieving Green Flag Status.
UKSSN
The UKSSN provides peer networks for staff and students to share ideas and resources, collaborate on local, national and international initiatives, and develop personal, social and workplace skills.
Saving Creation
As a Church of England MAT, we work in close partnership with the Diocese of Leeds. Whilst 'Saving Creation: Strategic action to combat climate change' was developed to be aimed at Churches, their toolkit and principles have been a useful foundation for our journey to protect and preserve all God's Creation. Jesus said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation' (Mark 16:15).
Sustainable Development Goals
We are committed to the UN sustainable development goals, linking everything we do to one of the 17 goals, with the overall aim of ending poverty, protecting our planet, and improving the lives and prospects for everyone, everywhere.
