Our dream is for every London school to be sustainable
We are teachers, local authority officers, third sector workers, private sector workers, governors and others.
We volunteer our time to run London Sustainable Schools Forum.
​We come together once a term in central London pub to meet, drink, inspire, discuss, share, support, create and plan.

​Our 5 Aims
​
  1. To support the sustainability champions in every London school
  2. To improve communication between teachers, NGO’s and other agencies
  3. To celebrate and embrace London’s unique urban environment and community
  4. To ensure LSSF is itself a sustainable forum
  5. To be fearless, innovative, visionary, challenging, creative and passionate in supporting sustainability, recognising that it involves change
A sustainable school...
  • is a beacon of sustainability in its local area
  • encourages an ethos of active care for oneself, each other and the environment. 
  • collaborates to create unique, sustainable solutions to its local environment. 
  • develops an integrated approach to sustainability across its curriculum, campus and community. 
Where did we come from?
The Government Office for London (GOL) established the London Sustainable Schools Forum (LSSF) in 2007. Its aim was to support London schools in meeting the sustainable schools framework and to become sustainable by 2020.    

LSSF is now run solely by volunteers with support from a wide range of organisations. In November 2011 we held the Springboard to Action day at City Hall and began 8 exciting new projects across London. Our evaluation of Springboard to Action has led to our current strategy which is exemplified in our four projects:
The DfE published a strong message of support for sustainable schools. You can read the DfE by clicking on the Wordle pic below (updated October 2012).
