DfES Sustainable Schools Strategy Launched

Sustainable Schools for Pupils, Communities and the Environment -An Action Plan for the DfES-April 2007 - This action plan is structured in a way that responds to the comments and suggestions arising from the Sustainable Schools consultation. It sets out what the current position is, and what the DfES will do, for each of the eight doorways featured in the original document, as well as ten new cross-cutting themes. This document is not an add-on, it is about existing policies and how they should be reframed. The DfES is committed to aligning all areas of policy with this strategy so that schools and wider children's services are encouraged and enabled to move in a direction that is entirely consistent with the principles of sustainable development.
