Climate Action Plan

The DfE has asked all schools to have in place a Climate Action Plan and Climate lead by the end of 2025.  To support schools with this we have added information to the Healthy Schools website in a new dedicated section which compiles useful resources and support available:

Click below to download an example Climate Action Plan template, designed by Leeds University who are the regional hub for the National DfE funded Climate Ambassadors programme

Please note you do not have to use this Climate Action Plan template, you can use your own version or any other that you may prefer.  Do include actions you are already working on and make sure they don’t all cost money to implement.  Please have a look at the suggested list of actions for your climate action plan to give you some ideas as the types of things you could do.  Do have Involve the pupils in designing actions – you could link to the Eco Schools award listed below to support pupil action on climate change.

Once you have completed your action plan, upload it to gain a certificate and Climate Action Plan logo.  To be able to upload you need a Healthy Schools login, please check whether your school already has one of these so you don’t create multiple accounts.  If you’re not sure, please email healthyschools@northyorks.gov.uk 

Please note we will read Climate Action Plans in line with the existing Healthy Schools award submission deadline.
