Climate Change & Sustainability

You can find out about the Government Climate Change and Sustainability strategy for the education sector HERE.
At Hillcrest, we are proud to be part of a national journey that began in the spring of 2020 - a journey that has tested the resilience of our education system and inspired a renewed sense of purpose. As we emerged from the challenges of the pandemic, Britain embraced a new mission: to Build Back Greener.
We believe that education is not only about academic achievement but also about preparing our children to thrive in a changing world. That’s why we are committed to embedding sustainability into every aspect of school life. From eco-friendly initiatives and outdoor learning to curriculum enrichment and community engagement, we are equipping our pupils with the knowledge, skills, and hope they need to become confident, compassionate stewards of the planet.
We want every child at Hillcrest to understand the truth about climate change and to feel empowered to make a difference.
Together with our staff, families, and the wider community, we are dedicated to improving our school's resilience, inclusivity and sustainability, and nurturing both minds and nature.
