Climate Change and Sustainability at St. Peter’s

The Department for Education (DfE) is committed to making education more sustainable and ensuring that all children gain the knowledge and skills they need for a greener future. At St. Peter’s, we fully support this pledge by embedding sustainability into our curriculum and school culture.
