We Are a Green School

We believe that sustainability and education on climate change are a priority in order to nurture responsible adults of tomorrow's society. We engage staff and involve pupils in green education and sustainable activities.

Striving for net zero

• About 90% of our families walk, scoot or cycle to school (we have a secure park on our premises): we have achieved the TFL's Gold Travel Award in 2025
• We offer cycle training to our pupils through the Bikeability scheme, and the Brent Council training team, Cycling Instructor
• We walk or use public transport during school trips and activities outside the school building
• We have adopted LED lighting throughout the school, monitored by smart readers
• We collaborate with the local park and allotment keepers
• We have a nominated Eco Lead (staff member) who is supported by the School Council (pupils)
• We are part of Our Schools Our World programme
• We have been working hard with local residents and Brent and Camden councils in order to close our street to traffic permanently through the Kilburn Oasis project, as well as greening of the space outside our school
• We are one of the 50 schools across the UK included in the Net Zero Accelerator Programme Pathfinder, to find decarbonisation initiatives to replicate across the nation
• We work with Let's Go Zero, aiming to reach net zero by 2030 (see Climate Action Plan below)
• We enrolled in the Great British Energy’s solar programme and had 28 solar panels installed on our roof in October 2025
• In 2025 we have reduced our electricity use by 35% and our gas use by 28%, saving our school over £50,000 in energy costs.

We aspire to be as sustainable and green as possible; we are constantly evaluating, reviewing and adopting new green practices.

In February 2026, the Minister for School Standard Georgia Gould MP came to visit our school to hear about all our sustainable initiatives.

Working with two local authorities

In summer 2024, our Year 5 and 6 pupils wrote to the Leader of Brent Council, Mr Muhammed Butt, in order to raise awareness of the problem they encounter on their way to school. In response to the letters, five Brent councellors came to visit us, committing to help us improve the local area.

We achieved BRONZE in 2024, and GOLD in 2025
