Sustainability and Climate Change
Sustainability seeks to meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own, and this includes addressing climate change. We aim to reduce our environmental footprint, particularly in the drive to achieve net zero.
Through school we have the privilege to be able to engage directly with children and young people who:
- Are passionate about the natural world
- Want to do their best to protect it
- Can influence their wider communities
We aim to increase opportunities for all children and young people to:
- Spend time in nature and learn more about it
- Become actively involved in the improvement of their local environment
We know that regular contact with green spaces can have a beneficial impact on children’s physical and mental health and ignites a passion in helping save: Animals/ Our Trees/ Rainforests/Our countryside etc.

Our School Garden
We are lucky at Huncoat to have such wonderful grounds and opportunities to grow and nurture plants, flowers and vegetables.
Mrs Newell looks after our Garden with the help of our children.
We have been awarded Level Two of the RHS Campaign for School Gardening and been sent a copy of a Gardening Book to enjoy! Well done Mrs Newell and her team!
