Local Authority Sustainable Schools Corporate Approaches

The North East and Yorkshire and Humber regions are working togther to support at least six 'pathfinder' authorities to develop corporate approaches to supporting schools to become Sustainable Schools with funding from the Department for Children, Schools and Families

The Expressions of interest in the north east region were submitted by 10th October. The outline of the project provides further information.

The successful authorities are:

Durham

Newcastle

Redcar and Cleveland

Interim evaluation events for the participating six authorities were organised in March in York and at Leeds in November which highlighted progress to date.

The attached paper highlights some of the activity that the three authorities are engaged with to date.

A celebratory conference highlighting the strategies and particular areas of progress will take place in Newcastle on Monday 22nd March. More details will be available after Christmas.
