Oak Tree School are proud to incorporate sustainability in to the ethos, values and vision, with the goal of improving the environment, be it in or outside of the classroom. We aim to promote closer ties and connections to nature, increasing wellbeing for students and staff, whilst also positively impacting on the environment here at School and within the wider community.
Sustainability is now being taught throughout all years, culminating at KS4 with the option to gain a level two (GCSE equivalent) qualification in climate change and environmental awareness. This qualification will be advantageous to future employment regardless of the industry, as businesses moving forwards pursue a sustainable approach.

Focus was placed on growing crops on our allotment, reducing litter through litter picking activities, locally and in the wider community and by reducing waste through a Bokashi system.
