From parliament to your local primary, we’re accelerating change
You can see our campaign’s impact in classrooms, canteens and playing fields across the UK: in schools where energy use is falling, and solar panels are sparking into life. Where green spaces are thriving, and lunch menus are stuffed with planet-friendly food. Where scooting and cycling are up, and waste is down. Where climate action is a growing feature of school strategies, policies and lesson plans.
Our Climate Action Advisors are key to this transformation, offering free, tailored support that helps schools take practical steps toward becoming zero carbon. We’re also pushing for national change, with government already acting on our policy recommendations, like requiring climate action plans in every education setting.
Looking ahead, we’ll keep helping schools focus on high-impact solutions like building upgrades and on-site clean energy, while using growing political momentum to drive lasting change.

Five Let’s Go Zero schools among first to benefit from Mayor of London’s Greener Schools fund!
We’re celebrating an exciting win for climate action in education! Five Let’s Go Zero schools have been chosen to receive funding from the Mayor of London’s new £2.9 million Greener Schools Fund, designed to help schools lower their energy bills, become more climate-resilient, and create healthier environments for students and staff.
Among the 38 London schools selected are these Let’s Go Zero schools:
- Elm Court School (Lambeth)
- Greenleaf Primary School (Waltham Forest)
- Torriano Primary School (Camden)
- Lauriston Primary School (Hackney)
- Central Park Primary School (Newham)
Two of these – Lauriston and Central Park – are actively working with Let’s Go Zero Climate Action Advisor Holly Campbell, who has supported them to write ambitious but achievable Climate Action Plans and kick-start real change on the ground.
“Central Park and Lauriston School have both been supported by Let’s Go Zero to write Climate Action Plans and to also start completing many of the actions.
Central Park has recently planted 9 trees in their playground, have worked with the council to implement a Healthy School Street and are hoping to install 44 solar panels on their roof. Lauriston Primary have signed up to heat health alerts and are also hoping to install solar. In both schools, the GLA funding is going to be invaluable in getting the larger infrastructural actions that they need off the ground. We are really looking forward to seeing the benefits this will bring to the schools.”
– Holly Campbell, Climate Action Advisor
Let’s Go Zero Zero Carbon Fund winner and, Coalition member, RAFT (Retrofit Action For Tomorrow CIC), are working with the Greater London Authority for the Greener Schools Pilot programme.
RAFT Founder and Managing Director, Harry Paticas, said:
‘We are very excited to be appointed to this central strategic role for the Mayor of London’s Greener Schools Pilot programme, and that it includes schools which have shown leadership and ambition by signing up to Let’s Go Zero… Schools face rising energy costs and ageing infrastructure, but they are also at the heart of our communities. By working with the Greater London Authority, local authorities and schools, we can turn ambition into action – supporting schools to lower emissions, save money, and create better environments for learning.’
Flight Free Schools: Rethinking School Trips for a Greener Future
In this webinar, we’ll explore how schools can reduce, or even eliminate, the use of air travel for school trips.
We’ll be joined by Anna Hughes, Director of Flight Free UK, a charity dedicated to raising awareness about the climate impact of aviation and inspiring low-carbon travel choices. Anna will introduce Flight Free Schools, a project designed to support schools in reducing air travel. She’ll share best practice tips for planning flight-free trips and highlight the importance of starting this behaviour change early to build lasting climate-friendly habits.
We’ll also hear from Chris Graham, Sustainability Lead at Hills Road Sixth Form College, which has committed to being flight-free. Chris will explain how the college offers enriching, horizon-expanding opportunities beyond the classroom—without setting foot on a plane.
