Further Reading & Resources for Parents
If you’d like to learn more about the importance of teaching children about climate, sustainability and “green skills,” here are some family- and school-friendly resources:
  • Eco‑Schools (UK): a leading organisation helping schools deliver pupil-led sustainability programmes and support environmental education. (Eco Schools)
  • WWF UK — their “Schools Sustainability Guide” offers advice and practical steps for schools (and families) on energy, waste, biodiversity, travel, food and more. (wwf.org.uk)
  • National Geographic Kids — excellent child-friendly explanations of climate change, its causes and what we can do to help. (National Geographic)
  • NASA Climate Kids — a fun, engaging resource explaining climate science to children in simple terms. (NASA Science)
We encourage parents to explore these at home — supporting and reinforcing the sustainability values and learning your child experiences at school.


Our Policy & Action Plan
You can read our full Sustainability Policy and Action Plan here:
  • Wellgate Primary School — Sustainability Policy (PDF)
  • Wellgate Primary School — Sustainability Action Plan (PDF)
If you have any questions or ideas — or would like to help us in our sustainability work — we’d love to hear from you. Please contact the school office or speak to your child’s class teacher.


We believe that by working together — school, children, families — we can help build a brighter, greener future.
Wellgate Primary School – growing green together 🌍
