Integrating Climate Education into a High-Quality English Curriculum | Primary

This webinar will provide headteachers, governors, senior leaders, English leads, teachers and practitioners with practical guidance on integrating climate education into the primary English curriculum, as part of a holistic approach to develop pupils’ knowledge and understanding of climate change, aligned with the government’s flagship strategy.

The DfE’s policy paper Sustainability and climate change: a strategy for the education and children’s services systems highlights the urgent need to give children and young people ‘the knowledge and skills to thrive in the green economy and to help restore nature’. By interweaving climate education throughout the curriculum, schools can provide pupils with a much deeper insight into the truth about environmental issues, and their role as agents of change.

In this webinar, Emma Rogers, experienced literacy and learning expert, senior lecturer, English lead and former teacher, explains how primary schools can use English lessons to develop pupils’ climate literacy, using practical examples and activities to enhance teaching and learning.
