Teachers stand with students in their call for urgent climate action Petition at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfrZBUh1Y9asj77aukVxLH8FYAiKS47f6qXPkCI-5qfgLCasw/viewform

In recent weeks many students in the UK showed their determination to demand action to tackle the climate crisis that threatens all of us and most especially the generation that are currently in school and college.

Their action has put the climate crisis at the forefront of political debate across society.

They have become part of a movement of young people across the globe who are rightly demanding that their politicians urgently take the action needed to tackle the climate crisis and that our education system reflects this priority.

As a generation without a voice in elections, but one for whom the climate crisis will impact the greatest, we commend their willingness to engage in political activity and debate to ensure their voice is heard.

We support the demands of the students and will play our part in ensuring we campaign for a curriculum that reflects this priority.
