Sustainability
Our Strategic Commitment
At Altus Education Partnership, we are committed to building a more sustainable future for our pupils, students, staff and wider communities. We recognise that environmental responsibility is not a single initiative, but an ongoing commitment that must be embedded across leadership, operations and education.
Our strategic aim is to enhance the environmental sustainability of all our academies by:
- Raising awareness of environmental responsibility among pupils, students and staff.
- Minimising waste and improving energy conservation.
- Ensuring environmental considerations inform all purchasing decisions.
- Constructing and maintaining buildings of excellent design that contribute positively to the regeneration of our borough while reducing environmental impact.
- Maintaining clear Trust Board oversight of environmental sustainability.
Sustainability is embedded within our governance structures to ensure accountability, oversight and continuous review. This enables us to move from aspiration to measurable, sustained impact across the Trust.
Environmental Sustainability Plan
Our Environmental Sustainability Plan sets out the practical steps through which we will deliver our strategic aim. It provides a clear and structured framework for action, identifying priorities, responsibilities and areas of focus across each academy.
We understand that meaningful environmental improvement requires sustained effort, collaboration and informed decision-making. As such, our plan will continue to evolve as we strengthen our data, refine our targets and respond to emerging best practice. This approach ensures that our work remains ambitious, evidence-informed and responsive to both local and national priorities.
Across each academy, staff, pupils and students provide the foundation for action and challenge, regularly reviewing current practice, identifying opportunities for improvement and developing initiatives that reduce our carbon footprint. By engaging pupils, students, staff and trustees in structured dialogue and action, we are fostering shared ownership of sustainability across the Trust.
Curriculum and Trust Engagement
Environmental responsibility is embedded across curriculum planning, operational practice and pupil/student leadership opportunities. Through teaching and enrichment activities, we aim to equip pupils and students with the knowledge, skills and values needed to contribute positively to a sustainable future.
Each academy has appointed Eco-Champions who collaborate across the Trust to exchange ideas, share effective practice and lead initiatives within their own communities. This network strengthens collective impact while allowing each academy to respond to its unique context.
The Director of Operations leads on environmental and sustainability matters across the Trust, ensuring strategic coordination and alignment between academies. By working collaboratively and maintaining clear leadership oversight, we are embedding sustainable practices into the daily life and long-term development of Altus Education Partnership.
Through strong governance, collaborative leadership and a commitment to continuous improvement, Altus Education Partnership is establishing a clear and sustainable pathway towards long-term environmental responsibility and positive environmental impact.
Catering in our Academies
At Altus Education Partnership, we are committed to ensuring that all academies within our Trust provide high-quality catering that supports pupils' and students’ health, wellbeing, and overall success.
Across our academies, school meals are freshly prepared and thoughtfully planned to be both nutritious and appealing. A wide variety of options is available to cater to different tastes and dietary needs, helping our young people enjoy balanced meals that provide the energy and focus required for effective learning, active participation in sports, and engagement in enrichment activities. Break and lunchtimes are also seen as an important social experience, giving students the chance to relax, share meals with friends, and develop healthy eating habits that can last a lifetime. Nutritious, enjoyable food is central to life in our academies, helping every young person thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Sustainability in Catering:
At Altus Education Partnership, sustainability is a key focus across the catering departments in all our academies. Many of our schools have dedicated spaces or plans for growing fresh produce, including herbs and some vegetables, which are used in meals prepared on site. We prioritise recycling wherever possible, from cooking products to food waste, with compost heaps in place to return organic matter back to the soil. In our canteens, wooden cutlery and recycled food boxes are provided, and plastic bottles are not sold - our young people and staff can choose from cans or cardboard cartons, making recycling easier and reducing single-use plastics. Comprehensive waste management and recycling practices are implemented across all sites, and solar panels are used in some of our academies to heat hot water, reducing energy consumption and supporting our commitment to environmentally responsible practices throughout the Trust.
