Sustainability at Firs Primary School

Sustainability

All life on Earth depends on the environment. The natural resources that come from the environment include food, water, plants, and minerals. Sustainability is the idea that humans must interact with the environment in a way that ensures there will be enough resources left for future generations, creating a balanced and sustainable future for both our planet and its inhabitants.

The three pillars of sustainability are environmental sustainability, social sustainability, and economic sustainability, and these principles underpin everything we do at Firs Primary School.

We aim to do as much as possible to reduce our carbon footprint, make a positive difference to our environment and, through our sustainability curriculum, ensure that our students grow up with a strong understanding of how they can make sustainable choices in their lives, both now and in the future.

Throughout their time at Firs Primary School, students learn about issues related to all 17 of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are an “urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.”
