At the Q1E Trust, we recognise our responsibility to embed sustainability in everything we do.

The Q1E Sustainability Vision sets out our ambition to be net zero and climate-ready by 2030 and to provide best-in-class sustainability learning for our children, combined with engagement across the whole school communities that we serve.

The Q1E Sustainability Vision is based on three action areas:

• Decarbonisation and Efficient Resource Use:  We are working to reduce our energy consumption, transition towards zero carbon energy sources, minimise emissions and waste, and increase recycling.
• Biodiversity and Protecting Nature:  We are working to increase the size and quality of green spaces at our schools, in support of outdoor learning, well-being, and local biodiversity.
• Climate Adaptation and Resilience:  We are working to ensure that our school buildings, outdoor spaces, playgrounds, and operations are future-ready and adapted for changing weather patterns.

All Q1E schools have signed-up to the Let’s Go Zero 2030 commitment and to Education Nature Park. All our schools are also registered with EnergySparks to monitor and reduce our energy usage.

We will provide further updates to our community as projects get underway.
