Environment

At Saint Christina’s, caring for our common home is part of who we are. Guided by Catholic Social Teaching, we see environmental responsibility as something that belongs in daily life, in the classroom and the wider community. 

Our Eco Committee, led by the children, plays a central role. They drive projects that make sustainability visible and practical, from recycling and reducing waste to running campaigns that inspire others to do the same. Outdoor learning and gardening give children the chance to connect with nature directly, while cross-curricular projects ensure that climate action and care for creation are part of their education. 

We are ambitious in our goals. A carbon audit and a new procurement policy help us make decisions that reduce our footprint. Smart technology is being explored to cut energy use, and sustainability is now part of planning every school event. Partnerships with local groups and charities, including London Zoo, connect our children to wider environmental action, helping them see that small steps taken here contribute to global change. 

Eco Ambassadors and pupil leaders are at the forefront of this work. They encourage their peers, lead assemblies and represent the school in local initiatives. In doing so, they learn that their voices matter, and that they have the power to influence the future.
