Our commitment to sustainability extends to the school’s physical environment. The Sixth Form Centre and Madeleine Dring Hall have won awards for their sustainable designs, including recognition from the RIBA Awards, Wood Awards and AJ Retrofit Awards. Our new IT suite and library features recycled plastic surfaces and carpet tiles, while all timber originate from sustainable sources.
For several years, we have implemented a strategy focused on sustainable procurement. In addition to choosing paper and other items made from recycled materials, we use cruelty-free and environmentally friendly products across the school and garden, encompassing all cleaning products and handwash. Furthermore, our catering team produce healthy, home-made dishes using locally sourced, seasonal food, including a designated meat free day per week. We have recently started sourcing ‘wonky’ vegetables which would typically be discarded for cosmetic reasons.
To promote reuse, Friends of SCHS host events to sell preloved uniform and Christmas jumpers, while phased out uniform was donated to a charity in The Gambia. As a school wherever possible we recycle items, including crisp packets, batteries, pens, paper and card and printer cartridges.
Our local environment is very important and students are encouraged to travel to school using active methods such as cycling or by public transport rather than by car, helping improve air quality. We also offer the opportunity for students to participate in cycle safety training during enrichment sessions. Through the House system, our pupils support various environmental charities, such as The Bike Project.
We are dedicated to continuously improving our environmental impact. Upcoming projects include plans to create a herb garden and exploring the feasibility of installing solar panels on the roof.
