Sustainable Schools

In Northern Ireland the term Sustainable Schools has been used to describe schools who have enough pupils to remain open. Elsewhere in the UK and Europe this term is very much linked to Sustainable Development and describes schools where the whole community is involved in caring for their school and local environment.

Visit the Teachernet sustainable schools pages to find out more and see some of the planning and resources. http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/sustainableschools/framework/framework_detail.cfm
