HC Academy Trust

At HCAT, we are committed to embedding sustainability across every aspect of school life. We recognise the responsibility we hold in tackling the climate crisis and preparing our students to become environmentally responsible citizens.

This Strategic Climate and Sustainability Plan Strategy detail our aim to lead and embed environmental sustainability into our schools & trust practice, in line with the DfE’s sustainability strategy, by setting out our plans for transforming our approach to sustainability and climate change. This includes how our schools will reduce their climate impact and broader environmental impact and promote biodiversity. This applies to curricular and extracurricular activities, estates, catering, and procurement throughout our Trust.

This strategy has been developed alongside the Department for Education’s five action areas, setting out our long-term vision and practical commitments.
