9:30am – 2.45pm
Main focus: Sustainable Development Education.
The highly successful programme of Developing Global Citizens study visits to schools around the country continues with Lawthorn Primary School, winner of the Best Sustainable School Award 2010.
Participants will have the opportunity to find out for themselves how the school’s systematic approach to global citizenship education acts as a key driver for enriched learning across the whole curriculum . and discover how this has transformed the attitudes of pupils and the wider community.
The visit will allow practitioners to find out about:
- implementing a highly effective carbon reduction scheme using the LTS online ‘global footprint calculator’ administered by pupils
- utilising green spaces surrounding the school as ‘outdoor classrooms’
- building strong partnerships with parents and a wide range of local community groups and businesses.
- planting trees and growing food in the school allotment
- the impact of active and vibrant pupil- led ‘eco’ steering groups which drive many initiatives and campaigns. This includes sustainable school travel, waste minimisation and support for wider sustainability education programmes .
