Eco-Schools mapping document
Kapow Primary is now working in partnership with Eco-schools to support schools following the Eco-schools programme and to achieve the Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation. The programme provides a simple, seven-step framework which empowers young people to make a difference in their school, local community and beyond.
Step 4 of the Eco-Schools programme requires schools to link climate change to at least three areas of curriculum learning during the year. This document is designed to assist schools using the Kapow curriculum to make those links, helping them to identify which lessons already link to the Eco-Schools’ ten topics (p. 3-7) and where there are further opportunities to adapt lessons to link to these topics (p.8-11).
