Why support the Sustainability Governor Network?
The Sustainability Governor Network, created by Governors for Schools, is designed to empower school governors to lead sustainability initiatives. By working with partners to provide access to training, resources, and a collaborative online platform, the network equips school governors with the tools to drive meaningful climate action in schools across England and Wales. Sponsorship opportunities range from £1,000-£8,000+ VAT per annum.
With schools required to implement Climate Action Plans by the end of 2025, the Sustainability Governor Network ensures that school governors can:
- Integrate sustainability into school strategies, policies, and procedures.
- Oversee and monitor Climate Action Plans to achieve measurable progress.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to create a sustainable future for schools.
The importance of the Sustainability Governor Network
Every state-funded school has a responsibility to minimise its environmental impact. However, many lack in-house sustainability expertise. The Sustainability Governor Network bridges this gap by:
- Offering termly online networking sessions to share successes and address challenges.
- Providing a dedicated online forum for governors to exchange best practices and access curated resources.
- Enabling school governors to collaborate strategically on climate initiatives.
The network also addresses related challenges, such as helping schools support students with climate anxiety and preparing them for green jobs of the future.
