Ensuring the resources are up to date
For Green Careers Week we’re highlighting the changes you will notice when downloading the Climate Schools Programme resources this term.
With accreditation from Skills Builder and the Royal Meteorological Society, the Climate Schools Programme is an activity we are proud to provide. It is recognised for raising awareness of essential skills and providing accurate and high-quality climate education. As such we always make sure the information contained reflects the most up-to-date data.
At the start of this academic year we released the 7th full update of the resources since the activity was launched over 2 years ago.
This term the main revisions were from data only published by the government the end of July after schools had broken up for the summer. UK energy in brief 2026 and Digest of UK Energy Statistics (DUKES) contain these official statistics from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. This data is referenced particularly in the science and geography lesson sections of the activity and relates to UK energy supply, consumption and emissions statistics.
Other updates made specifically for the new academic year are in the English lessons. These include providing more recent news articles and example parliamentary debates, and revising the debate packs.
Throughout the past year we have also made smaller updates, like including “next steps” idea slides at the end of each lesson presentation. These help both teachers and students put the lessons and learning into context.
We have also introduced brand new elements including:
For Green Careers Week, as always, you can rely on the Climate Schools Programme for quality climate resources which are clear, up-to-date, reliable and reputable. Teachers are well supported to increase their own knowledge and personal development while teaching this vital subject effectively.
