We are proud to support the Climate Action Toolkit project through our Widening Participation and Induction Fund programme!
Climate Action Toolkit is a cross-disciplinary primary school programme designed to boost teacher confidence in delivering climate change education. By offering a structured scheme of work that integrates Arts, Humanities, and STEM subjects, alongside free, downloadable resources and hands-on activities, the Toolkit equips teachers to inspire pupils in Years 5–6 to tackle key challenges around climate change.
Led by Churchill College Fellow Rachel Thorley in collaboration with Amy Munro-Faure at Cambridge Zero and Lucy Cavendish College Fellow and Churchill By-Fellow Liam Saddington, these expert-designed activities make climate education engaging, hopeful, and action-oriented.
- Five ready-to-use lessons covering net zero, migration, climate futures, innovation, and advocacy
- Minimal teacher prep required – perfect for a single Climate Action Day or spread across multiple sessions
- Designed for primary schools – ensuring age-appropriate, engaging content for younger learners
- Perfect for primary to secondary school transition
