Global Goals
The Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which set out a 15-year plan to achieve the Goals.
In order to work towards this aim, we have been introducing and discussing the 17 different global goals in school. Each week our Assembly is based around information about a global goal and a group task to relate the goal to our own school and community. Our pupils have some great ideas about how to tackle issues in our community, so we decided to set up a ‘Pupil voice, pupil action’ noticeboard at the entrance to our school. This shares the current work being undertaken by some of our pupils and notes the impact. Some examples of our pupils’ work include recycling in the dinner hall, tackling litter in our school grounds/community and looking after our resources to save waste.
