Schools and Colleges

Children Leaving School

Greenthinking has a range of products and services to help educational facilities meet both their financial and educational obligations. Details are outlined in our brochure “Environmental Solutions for Schools and Colleges”.

Education in sustainable development plays a large part in the learning objectives of schools and colleges from Key Stage 1 to 4 to further education. These studies encompass subjects including Sciences, Design and Technology, Geography and Citizenship. Other subjects such as Art and Mathematics can also benefit from environmental studies and, in addition, employment opportunities relating to the environment are rapidly on the increase.

"King’s College recently applied for a Royal Society partnership grant for its project on Renewable Energy.  Our environmental and scientific partners are ‘Greenthinking’, and without their expertise and support we would not have gained this prestigious award.  Now that this venture is underway, ‘Greenthinking’ have continued to give their support and advice. They have also carried out a whole school energy assessment, which will help the College to reduce its carbon footprint and achieve targets for sustainability.  ‘Greenthinking have done a great job. They have been highly professional and very much in tune with the needs of the College."
