Ludlow Primary School (for ages 2-11)

Sustainability at Our School

At Ludlow Primary School, we are deeply committed to sustainability and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. We take a proactive approach to reducing our environmental impact through a variety of initiatives, including recycling, energy-efficient lighting, reduced paper usage, and the promotion of reusable materials. We also encourage eco-friendly travel to and from school and maintain green spaces that support biodiversity. Through these efforts, we aim to lead by example and inspire our whole community to contribute to a more sustainable future. 

Becoming a zero carbon school isn’t just about our environmental impact, it’s about preparing our students for a sustainable future, creating healthier learning environments, and showing leadership in our community.

Taking action on sustainability benefits schools in many ways:

 - Financially: Reducing energy use cuts bills.
 - Educationally: Climate action enriches the curriculum and builds skills for future careers.
 - Environmentally: It protects local ecosystems and helps meet national climate targets.
 - Wellbeing: Greener spaces support physical and mental health.
 - Adaptation: Climate ready schools are able to be more resilient to current and future climate impacts.

Let's Go Zero

Ludlow Primary School is proud to be part of the Let’s Go Zero campaign, working with a dedicated Climate Action Advisor to create a tailored Climate Action Plan and embed sustainability into every aspect of school life. We are committed to becoming a zero carbon school by 2030.

We are working with Let's Go Zero to help our school to become even more sustainable and to lower our Carbon Footprint. 

Switch off Fortnight

For two weeks, Monday 10th November 2025 - Sunday 23rd November 2025, we are taking part in the ‘Switch off Fortnight’ campaign! Children will be encouraged to switch off lights, switches and anything else electrical before going out for break time, lunch time and before going home. We hope that this will help us to become more sustainable and to save money by using less electricity!
