Unlock Your School’s Sustainability Potential in Just 5 Minutes

What is stopping you from becoming more sustainable? We have asked hundreds of schools the same question and the answer is usually one of the following:

**“Not enough money”**

**“Not enough time”**

 

**“We just don’t know where to start”**

 

That’s why we at Barker decided to create our [Sustainability Self-Assessment tool.](https://www.barker-associates.co.uk/guides-tools-and-templates/accelerate-your-journey-to-net-zero/)

Simply answer questions across 5 key areas and we’ll send you a personalised report showing how sustainable you are and provide instant, actionable steps on how to improve.

- It only takes five minutes
- It’s completely free
- You’ll get instant results and suggestions for next steps.
