Sustainability
Sustainability is rooted in our school values of Belonging, Empowering and Succeeding Together and our commitment to a sustainable future is shown through our Eco School work and Green Flag awards.
Sustainability is embedded throughout our curriculum to educate and inspire children to understand the impact of human life on the environment. At a time when we are acutely aware of the impact of our actions, it is vital that future generations understand that we depend on our Earth for all basic physical needs, such as food, fresh air, clean water and shelter and must strive to take care of it.
We endeavour to instil in our children that understanding and tackling climate change and nature loss are fundamental to meeting the needs of our future generations and that they are the voices and vision of the future.
Our work through the Eco Schools programme is further enhanced by our Sustainability Curriculum, through which we aim to underpin children’s understanding of environmental issues and give them a chance to share their voice.
At Down Ampney, children are exposed to global perspectives of sustainability, such as threats to the rainforest and protecting marine environments and we link wider issues to children’s own experiences, such as litter and plastic waste in our streets and school.
