The UK Sustainable Schools Online Hub
This website produced by the UK Department for Education and Skills is a comprehensive resource for teachers exploring any aspect of becoming a sustainable school – from teaching, to resource use to whole school planning and management.
The Sustainable Schools website is designed to support schools on their journey to sustainability, introducing the principles of sustainable development and offering guidance on how to embed these principles into the heart of school life.
The site provides useful information for all sectors of the school community, including the leadership team, teachers and parents, and offers a number of excellent online and downloadable tools to help schools identify the best route to becoming more sustainable.
The resource library offers a comprehensive online directory providing access to hundreds of teaching resources, places to visit, a useful A to Z directory of organisations that work in the field, information about related programmes, case studies and an inspirational image gallery. Similarly, the support section contains information about funding, professional development opportunities, research and regional support.
