Sustainability educational resource material

The following resources have enabled schools to equip the next generation with a deeper understanding of environmental stewardship.

Let’s Go Zero

From 2025, all UK schools and education trusts will be required to develop their own Climate Action Plan. Let’s Go Zero’s team of Climate Action Advisors provide free, independent, and tailored advice to help green school buildings, transport, menus, and more.

7,000 schools have signed up nationwide, including many in London. Let’s Go Zero also work in partnership with leading sustainable school organisations such as Eco-Schools, WWF, Sustrans, Fairtrade, The Carbon Trust, and others.

Climate Action Advisors can:

  • Support schools to understand and monitor their carbon footprint using our free Count Your Carbon tool.
  • Help identify evidence-based actions.
  • Help schools reduce costs and find funding for climate-friendly improvements.
  • Link Climate Action Plans with inspection criteria and other local strategies.
  • Signpost to council-led sustainability initiatives and adapt plans to reflect your targets.
  • Provide ongoing advice as schools put plans into action.

Let’s Go Zero are inviting schools in Bromley, to sign up to the scheme. If you think this is right for your school, you can find out more or sign up on the Let's Go Zero website.

Project Earth Rock

Bromley Council has previously funded access for schools to Project Earth Rock, a resource for schools and pupils interested in learning about sustainability with 10 schools receiving access to the resource over the course of several years.

Project Earth Rock was a multimedia resource for teaching sustainability aimed at Key Stage 2 but has been used and enjoyed by pupils in Key Stage 1. Its cross-curricular animated musical approach enabled teachers and pupils to easily access and engage with 12 key sustainability themes. Project Earth Rock also supported all the topics of the eco schools programme and supports schools delivering on their Sustainability leadership and Climate Action Plans.

The full resource pack offers to bring important and topical environmental issues to life whilst providing an engaging, enjoyable and thoughtful experience for the children.

Themes included:

  • Power challenge
  • Disposable waste
  • Saving water
  • Counting the carbon
  • Compost and grow
  • Sustainable transport
  • School council - decision making
  • The importance of rainforests
