SWANSEA SUSTAINABLE SCHOOLS SCHEME (4S's) - AWARDS INFORMATION !The Swansea Sustainable School Scheme was published in November 2008 and launched at a conference. It is designed to provide encouragement and support for local schools to make significant progress with ESDGC. The Scheme sets high standards and complements national schemes such as Eco-Schools, Healthy Schools Initiative and Fairtrade Schools.
The eight themes covered in the Scheme are drawn from the ESDGC Guidance for Schools document published by SEEF two years earlier, in 2006 (Guidance doc can be found on the Downloads page). The Scheme was written by a team of SEEF members with a range of expertise across the themes. The Scheme presents three standards for each theme – Bronze, Silver and Gold – with a list of actions for both School Management and Curriculum Activities under each standard. There are also lists of key contacts and websites so that schools can find support and information to help them make progress. To download the SCheme click on th Downloads page.
