Sustainability At Christ the King Sixth Forms, we prioritise environmental strategies and sustainability. Our initiatives include reducing our carbon footprint, promoting eco-friendly practices, and leading environmental projects to raise awareness in our community. We received the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award with Distinction for our efforts. Our Sustainability Development Project focuses on providing training facilities in green STEM areas, featuring solar panel and heat pump technology. Our students’ winning idea in the IKEA X Let’s Go Zero Competition involves creating an Eco Hub as a workspace for students, the local community, and schools to enhance sustainability understanding and application. We aim to inspire students, staff, families, and the community to join our sustainable journey.

Trevor also sits on our Governing Body as our Careers Link. The Elevate programme provides you with the skills, knowledge and experiences for higher education and the world of work. Trevor and his team run programmes for our students such as personal branding and employability coaching.
