AfSL offers a number of services to primary schools, high schools and sixth form colleges. We help staff and students to achieve measurable outcomes that enhance sustainable living across their school. We link our work to other initiatives such as Every Child Matters and Eco-schools as well as our own activities in the wider community.

AfSL promotes all sustainable living topics and our services range through:

• assemblies
• classroom activities
• after-school clubs
• provision of resources & teaching materials
• staff training & support
• sustainable procurement advice
• coordinating links to other local service providers.

As well as one-off project work, AfSL offers a comprehensive support package to schools through the 'A Few Small Steps' programme, which provides clear pathways to achieving the aims highlighted by The Sustainable Schools Programme in an integrated and streamlined way.

The Sustainable Schools Programme - from the Department for Children, Schools and Families (prev DfES) - takes an overarching approach. It links several existing initiatives within both the National Framework and the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Framework introducing the principles of sustainable development and offering guidance on how to embed these principles into the heart of school life.
