Introducing the first-ever Greener Schools Index (GSI) report, a landmark moment in sustainability within the education sector.
This powerful new report gives a unique, data-led snapshot of how schools across the UK are taking action on climate change – and where there’s still more to do.
Brought to life by Zenergi in collaboration with the UK Schools Sustainability Network (UKSSN), the GSI is designed to help schools understand their progress, celebrate successes, and spotlight opportunities for impact.
Whether you’re leading the way or just getting started, this report is a must-read.
Insightful data and trends from schools across the country
Themed analysis across energy, waste, water, food and education
Spotlights on schools leading the way
Inspiration and practical guidance to help accelerate your own journey
This is the first in a series of national reports that will be released 2–3 times a year – set to become a go-to reference for schools, trusts, and policymakers alike.
We have a moral imperative to secure global climate security for future generations, whilst ensuring that our core function of educating children can continue effectively.

Our report highlighted a need for sustainability training and a CPD pathway – and we listened! We’ve partnered with the Institute of School Business Leaders (ISBL), to deliver Energy and Carbon Management training aligned with the ISBL Sustainability Standards. If you’re ready to take action on sustainability in your school, the first two regional workshops are available to book now!
