The Kent Eco-Schools Project programme links well to Geography and Science and also PSHE.
The Kent Schools Action On Climate Change pack and pledge is available either through the www.kent.gov.uk/ecoschools page or on www.kent.gov.uk/climatechange under schools. In this there are specific suggestions for all ages on key questions that relate to what is climate change, what its impact on kent will be both in terms of landscape and living and also what we can do. In addition there are key topics like Energy with suggestions for cross-curricular work that can be done in school. Schools can sign the Kent Schools Action on Climate Change pledge which will then enable them to go on Carbon Hub training and use this on-line software to monitor and improve their environmental performance.
There are over 60% of Kent Schools that are registered as Eco-Schools and over 45% of Kent Schools have an Eco-Schools award. In the Kent Eco News which is circulated electronically there is a web review where we showcase schools using their website to record and promote their Eco-Schools work.
