A whole school approach to sustainability adopts a systemic view of education and aims to involve the entire institution in learning for environmental sustainability. Learners can connect what they learn through the curriculum with the school’s practices in management, operations, procurement and outreach. A whole school approach seeks to take learning outside of the classroom, into the natural world and into the community. The current paper sums up discussions that took place over the course of two plenary meetings of the EU working group on sustainability education, which looked specifically at whole school approaches to sustainability. The key messages that emerged from the discussions concern policy-making, student engagement, leadership and capacity building. The key messages also highlight the role of school selfevaluation and collaborations and partnerships within schools and with external partners.
