(2) how many schools are taking part in the National Framework for Sustainable Schools.
The Ofsted Self-Evaluation Form invites schools to include information about their performance against the National Framework for Sustainable Schools. However, using the framework is voluntary and we do not collect data about how many schools have chosen to follow the framework or on individual schools' progress against each doorway towards the 2020 targets.
Respondents to the consultation on the National Framework for Sustainable Schools in summer 2006, and pilot users of the “s3: Sustainable Schools Self-evaluation” first published in May 2006, asked for interim targets for schools aiming to be sustainable by 2020. We have updated the s3 and published guidance “Planning a Sustainable School—driving school improvement through sustainable development” and using this guidance, schools can identify their own milestones of progress to becoming a fully sustainable school by 2020.
