Sustainability

At Backworth Park Primary School,  we are committed to creating a healthier planet for future generations. Our sustainability action plan helps us reduce waste, conserve energy, and make environmentally responsible choices across all areas of school life. By working together as a whole school, we can model positive habits for students, staff, and the wider community, showing that small changes add up to a big impact. This plan ensures that sustainability is not just a subject we learn about - it’s a value we live every day.

What You Can Do at Home
Families play a vital role in supporting sustainability. Simple actions like reducing single-use plastics, recycling correctly, turning off lights when not in use, and choosing reusable water bottles can make a big difference. You can also try composting food scraps, walking or cycling instead of driving short distances, and buying locally grown produce. Every effort counts, and by practising these habits at home, you help reinforce what students learn at school and contribute to a greener future.
