We have made great progress in the last few years to make our environment greener for all and offset our carbon footprint. Working towards this, we have:

  • Put in more than 200 bike spaces to enable active travel to school. 63% of Junior School pupils now actively travel (by bike, scooter or walking) to school and in 2021 we were awarded the TFL Gold accreditation for our Travel Plan. 
  • Switched to renewable gas and electricity supplies 

  • Reduced the use of disposable cups, plates and cutlery 

  • Removed plastic cups from the dining hall and installed more water stations 

  • Focused the Years 9 and 11 Alleyn’s Learners programme on sustainability 

  • Enforced 'no idling' for cars or coaches outside School 

  • Turned the heating down 

  • Planted more hedges on site. Since February we have planted in excess of 1,000 plants, shrubs, and trees to create a pollution barrier, help the ecosystem and improve the general environment. 

  • Halved our levels of printing in school 

  • Installed solar panels in the Junior School, Lower School and Science building 

  • Installed a heat pump in the new Junior School Development.
