Cranbrook pupils attend Met Office Climate Camp to explore sustainability

Five pupils from Cranbrook Education Campus’s Eco-Club visited the Met Office as part of its Climate Camp programme, taking part in workshops and tours designed to demonstrate practical approaches to sustainability and climate science.

During the visit, pupils toured the facility, met staff working in climate-focused roles, and participated in hands-on workshops addressing environmental challenges.

The visit builds on Cranbrook Education Campus’s ongoing environmental initiatives. 

Prior to Christmas, pupils planted more than 90 trees on campus and have also been involved with the nearby Elbury Farm woodland project in partnership with the National Trust.

Stephen Farmer, Head of Campus at Cranbrook Education Campus, said: "Our pupils participated in all aspects of the Climate Camp, from exploring the labs to the workshops, and brought back ideas on how to make the school more sustainable."

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust, said: "We are proud of the pupils for taking part in environmental projects both on campus and in the local area. These experiences help young people understand the impact of their actions."

The school is part of the Ted Wragg Trust, which promotes environmental awareness and practical sustainability projects. 

The visit is intended to provide pupils with insight into climate work and encourage the application of sustainable practices within the school and the wider community.
