# Climate Change and Sustainability

# Climate Change and Sustainability

At Read St John’s CE Primary School, we believe that caring for our planet is an important part of caring for God’s creation. Our Christian vision, *“Sowing the seeds of tomorrow; growing in the light of the Lord,”* inspires us to encourage children to take responsibility for the world around them and think about the difference they can make.

Through our curriculum, outdoor learning, gardening activities and environmental projects, we help pupils understand climate change and the importance of protecting the natural environment. Our Eco Warriors, links with Readstone Environmental Group and opportunities to care for our school grounds give children practical ways to make a difference. We also encourage everyday actions such as saving energy, reducing waste and recycling.

We want our children to grow into thoughtful, responsible citizens who respect the world around them and understand that even small actions can make a positive difference, both now and for future generations.
