Back to School

How green are our schools? Deborah Meaden and Felicity Hannah are on a mission to find out, with the help of children and teachers at a south London primary school.

Today Deborah and Fliss learn about the brilliant work some schools are doing to be more sustainable. They visit the children and teachers at St Winifred's RC Primary in Lewisham.

They hear how head teachers are facing massive increases in energy bills whilst trying to balance the books, and ask where the cash will come from to retrofit the UK's thousands of inefficient school buildings.

They meet the children fizzing with green ideas, and hear how they're tackling food waste with a school dinner "most hated meals" list.

And they find out what's on the curriculum to teach the next generation about climate change so they don't repeat the mistakes of the past.

Presented by Deborah Meaden and Felicity Hannah.
