Pendle Education Trust Sustainability Fund Event Students from across Pendle Education Trust came together for an inspiring and impactful Sustainability Fund event, hosted at Nelson and Colne College. Student representatives from West Craven High School, Colne Primet Academy, Casterton Primary Academy, Castercliff Primary Academy and Pendle Primary Academy all took part, pitching innovative ideas to reduce their school's carbon footprint. In a "Dragons' Den"-style format, students presented their proposals to an expert panel of judges, including representatives from Silentnight, Reed Recruitment and Taylor Shaw Catering Services, alongside Nelson and Colne College and the CEO of Pendle Education Trust. The creativity and passion on display were exceptional. Students shared a wide range of ideas, from promoting cycling to school and reducing car usage, to developing school gardens, composting initiatives and other environmentally conscious projects. We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our judges for generously giving their time and for their contributions to the Sustainability Fund. Their support and expertise play a vital role in helping bring these student-led ideas to life. It was a fantastic day that truly highlighted the commitment of our young people to sustainability and environmental responsibility. We are delighted that funding has now been awarded, enabling students to bring their ideas to life and make a real difference within their school communities. We look forward to seeing these projects develop and the positive impact they will have across the Trust.

Supporting No Mow May This May, schools across Pendle Education Trust are proud to be taking part in No Mow May. By leaving some of our green spaces uncut throughout the month, we're giving nature a helping hand. Longer grass and wildflowers provide vital food and shelter for bees, butterflies, and other important pollinators. Cutting less means: Supporting pollinators Encouraging wildflowers to grow Protecting and enhancing local biodiversity Together, we're creating healthier habitats and helping wildlife thrive right on our school grounds. #NoMowMay #Sustainability #Biodiversity #PendleEducationTrust #EcoSchools
