In the education sector, sustainability relates both to the running of a school according to sustainable development policies, and includes sustainability in the curriculum, raising awareness about environmental issues in future generations.
We are conscious that The Hall’s everyday activities impact on the environment in many ways, including, for example:
The Hall is working to embed green values and sustainable practices into all aspects of school life.
The Sustainability Strategy focuses upon the work of the school’s Eco Commmitee and our Green Flag status as an eco-school, to ensure that the school is ultimately more sustainable through the development of key strategic initiatives across all aspects of school life and functioning. A Sustainability Strategy Group has been established, with responsibility for ensuring that the school is on a carbon reduction pathway in the medium term.
The Strategy Group consists of staff from across all sections of the school, both teaching and support staff. Student participation is important too and members of the Eco Committee have an active voice within the Strategy Group discussions and decision-making.
The Hall is committed not only to ensuring that we run according to sustainable practices in aspects such as power consumption and energy use, water use, reducing waste and ensuring sustainable procurement, but also to teaching our students pupils about sustainability and global social responsibility.
Hall pupils are receptive to such teaching and many are keen to learn about and become involved in projects and activities aimed at world problems such as global warming, deforestation, habitat loss, conservation and global poverty, which are incorporated into the curriculum from Reception to Year 8 wherever relevant.
