Community: working together inside and outside school

Community refers to how the school fosters a united approach to environmental sustainability, both within the local community and the school community itself.

As a starting point, you could ask:

• Do any governors/trustees or staff members have sustainability credentials that could help in this area, and is this considered when recruiting?
• How are children travelling to school? How is this actively facilitated by the school/trust?
• Does the school’s work with the local community include any sustainability-focused activities?

Other considerations that relate to the community include:

• Communication with pupils and parents – is this framed as positive and open?
• Expertise – the community could hold specialist knowledge and donate their time/resources
