The SiAG has £10,000 available for projects of up to £2,000, which help to meet Sustainability Strategy objectives:
- To maintain a management system and resource allocation to ensure delivery of the strategy.
- To identify the challenges and risks that arise from Climate Change; and to respond to these in a positive, creative and active way.
- To reduce our contribution to Climate Change by means of both measurable and demonstrable activities for reduction of carbon emissions with specific goals for reduction in energy use, waste production, travel and resource consumption.
- To ensure that our staff and students have the necessary awareness, skills and support to respond positively and creatively to the existing and future challenges of climate change.
- To undertake research and knowledge exchange activities that respond to the challenges of Climate Change.
- To communicate our principles and progress to staff and students, governors, and external agencies; and enable a dialogue across the institution concerning our strategy and goals.
There will be a panel of judges who will look at applications but any projects requiring over £2,000 will be submitted to the entire SAG for approval.
We would particularly welcome projects that address the following areas:
- Improving the awareness of sustainability and ways to take action across the school
- Understanding and communicating our energy consumption
- Incentivising positive behaviour and actions
- The amount of paper we consume
- Getting students voices and perspectives on sustainability
- Gathering information of projects and initiatives already happening at grass roots
