Shinfield St Mary's
Mapping sustainability across the curriculum.
Who was involved?
Matthew Knight at Shinfield St Mary's CE Junior School, Reading.
What happened?
We supported staff to map sustainability across their existing curriculum.
What role did we play?
Paul visited Matthew to better understand the school’s circumstances and needs. Paul shared the MEE template document and gave direction to Matthew to help complete the mapping using MEE’s 7 key themes as an organising structure. We then helped to synthesise the information and provided direction for next steps.
What was the impact?
Existing examples of sustainability were mapped across the curriculum providing a holistic overview. Opportunities were identified and developed in other areas of the schools curriculum to further develop sustainability.
What can teachers learn from this?
Mapping sustainability is an easy first step which identifies a baseline for future development. This activity can also buoy confidence as often people are pleasantly surprised by how much they're already including. The activity helps to provide a holistic overview and rationale to sustainability across the curriculum.
