Ethical Enterprise at Leighton Park School

Ethical Enterprise is about social business and active citizenship. It’s about giving our students the skills to make changes for a more equitable world. It’s about providing opportunities to learn about ethics, critical thinking and leadership skills from industry experts, while putting these ideas into practice through a number of projects.

At Leighton Park this is an initiative for the whole School based on the core concept of sustainability – covering planet, people and profit.

Our Eco-Schools student-led group have achieved the coveted Green Flag Award, an international accreditation that recognises young people’s environmental actions.

Supported by Sustainability Co-Ordinator, Oliver Staines, the group completed the ‘Seven Steps’ aimed at improving environmentalism. After securing Bronze and Silver, to capture the Green Flag itself, students are required to monitor and evaluate the changes they have informed and implemented, as well as reflect on their eco-code. The Eco Club have done a tremendous job of documenting and continually reflecting on their progress through photos, transport surveys, biodiversity counts, waste audits and more.
