We were pleased to see over 40 heads attend the 'Whole School, Whole City' approach to Climate Education and Action' event last week - we'll be in touch with more from this soon. In the meantime, you may be interested to see the results of our Brighton & Hove Youth Survey and the draft 10 Steps to Leading Climate in Schools - both of which we discussed at the event.
Do email us if you have any views on either of these.
Feedback from headteachers/principals is vital to help us plan further support. Please do prompt your heads to complete the evaluation sent on Friday ASAP. Thank you!
