Climate Action and Sustainability
“What we do today, matters tomorrow.” John C. Maxwell
At Leck St Peter’s we are committed to fostering an environmentally responsible culture that supports the well-being of our children, staff, and community. We recognise the importance of sustainability in protecting the planet for future generations and aim to integrate sustainable practices into all aspects of school life.
We will actively promote and implement sustainable practices across our school operations, curriculum, and community engagement. This includes reducing waste, conserving energy and water, encouraging biodiversity, and educating pupils about environmental stewardship. Our goal is to create a learning environment that models responsible behaviour and empowers children and adults to make positive contributions to a sustainable future.
All staff, pupils, and stakeholders share responsibility for implementing this policy. The school leadership will provide resources, training, and support to ensure its success.
As a Christian school, we encourage our children to ‘live fruitfully’ by showing the values of ‘Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control.’ (Galatians 5:22-23). We aim to:
- Provide high quality education in a happy Christian environment where everyone is valued and respected.
- Offer an ambitious curriculum which provides rich opportunities for children to develop a variety of knowledge, skills and interests.
- Foster a nurturing and stimulating environment which is inclusive enabling all to flourish socially, academically and spiritually.
- Promote positive relationships with parents, carers, church, governors and the wider community.
- Develop confidence, motivation, independence, resilience and self-esteem.
- Be courageous to stand up for what they believe in.
- Foster an understanding and respect of other cultures, religious beliefs and groups.
- Respect our environment and natural world – God’s creation.
Therefore, our Sustainability Climate Action Plan for 2025 (and beyond) is bound by these core values as well as our common purpose to ensure all those within our school community ‘live life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10) through the promotion and protection of God’s World.
