Opportunity
The way school buildings
are designed, constructed
and managed affects their
ability to ‘teach’ pupils
about sustainable living.
For example, decisions over
materials and equipment
provide opportunities to
highlight sustainable
practices, while the
inclusion of food growing,
biodiversity conservation
and natural play in
grounds increases their
learning value.
Recommendation 2020
We would like all schools –
old and new – to manage
and, where possible, design
their buildings in ways
that visibly demonstrate
sustainable development to
everyone who uses the school.
Through their grounds, we
would like schools to bring
pupils closer to the natural
world, capture their
imaginations in outdoor play,
and help them learn about
sustainable living.
