Happy New Year!

It's great to be back at the SFM desk and thought I'd start 2010 with recommendations from Ofsted on Sustainable Schools (click here for full report)

Recommendations

Schools should:


􀂄 make sustainability a priority in their improvement plans to ensure they are

meeting their commitment to become a sustainable school by 2020


􀂄 develop a whole-school approach to education for sustainability in the

curriculum to enable it to become firmly embedded in teaching and learning


􀂄 ensure that all pupils have access to out-of-classroom learning to support

their understanding of the need to care for their environment and to

promote their physical and mental well-being


􀂄 provide appropriate training and support to inform and engage teachers so

that they understand what is required to make a school sustainable


􀂄 ensure that they manage the school estate carefully and become models of

good practice for sustainable living and working.


Excellent stuff ... but wouldn't it have been nice to see the word food somewhere??
