Sustainability
At the David Ross Education Trust, we are committed to building a greener, more sustainable future for our students, staff and communities. Every academy plays a part in reducing our environmental impact and inspiring young people to take positive action for the planet. On this page, you’ll find our school’s Climate Action Plan along with updates on projects and activities that showcase how we are putting sustainability into practice.

Current Projects & Activities
Supporting Sustainable Clothing
In our car park we have installed a clothes bank to support Children’s Air Ambulance. By donating clothing, we are supporting sustainability by diverting textiles from landfills, reducing the demand for new clothing and fostering a circular economy where items are reused and repurposed. This practice lowers carbon emissions and creates economic and social benefits for charities and communities.
Recycling and Food Waste
As an Eco School and a proud Green Flag holder, we continuously look for ways to ensure we reduce unnecessary waste. Not only do we now have specific paper, card and plastic recycling but we now have Food Waste bin collection too thanks to Veolia UK.
