As part of the Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST), Benson CofE Primary School is committed to helping create a more sustainable future for our children. We want our pupils to develop a love and respect for the natural world and understand how they can make a positive difference to the environment.

Through our curriculum and everyday school life, we encourage children to care for themselves, each other and the world around them. We aim to develop environmentally aware, responsible young people who feel confident to make positive choices and protect our planet for future generations.

As part of ODST's Trust-wide sustainability strategy, we work towards reducing our carbon footprint, using energy more efficiently, reducing waste and making environmentally responsible choices.

At Benson, we aim to bring sustainability to life through practical experiences and opportunities for children to connect with nature, understand climate change and take action within their school and local community.
