Sustainability Week at Earlscliffe 🌍💚
A week of action, reflection and real impact! From quieter, low-tech boarding evenings to launching our Eco Pledge Wall filled with thoughtful commitments our community truly stepped up.
We turned the school green on Thursday raising funds for local environmental charities, and by Friday our classrooms moved outdoors reconnecting with the environment we’re working to protect.
Our Sustainability Showcase organised by Miss Day was the perfect finale!
We were delighted to welcome Sally Cornelius from Dukes Education, who explored the environmental impact of technology, from the life cycle of a mobile phone to the hidden water footprint behind everyday AI use 💧.
Students Ian and Orlando challenged us to think critically about corporate responsibility and greenwashing, while Miss Day inspired us with insights into future careers in sustainability ♻️.
Our brilliant school band kept the energy high with performances including Have You Ever Seen the Rain and Walking on Sunshine.
Sustainability at Earlscliffe isn’t a one-off event it’s an evolving culture 🌿
We continue with our digital decluttering initiative this week!
