Our Green Commitment

Our Green Pledge

The TEFAT Green Curriculum is arranged around four interlinking sustainability themes and each Academy is committed to reflect one theme in their own setting. These are Green Systems, Green Regeneration and Diversity, Green Communities and Green Citizens.

This is a way of teaching and learning that puts the environment and sustainability at the heart of the curriculum.

George Betts Primary Academy’s Commitment in 2023-24 is Green Systems. 

This year we will focus on REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.

We will: 

• Dispose of our food waste separately to our general waste. All food waste that is collected is used to create clean renewable energy. Some of it is pasteurised and used in local farming as an organic fertiliser. 

• Reduce the amount of paper we use. All staff are committed to this, and photocopying is monitored across the school.

• Encourage wildlife into our school grounds. We keep our grounds clean and tidy with regular litter picks and maintenance. We have also recently set up a bug hotel and planted wild flowers.
