Energy Awareness Statement
Our school is dedicated to implementing energy efficient practices, recognising that this is essential to provide a leading example to our pupils and the wider community.
We are committed to the following:
• Setting annual energy savings targets
• Continual improvement in reducing our energy usage
• Complying with all energy and other legislation
• Minimising the impact that our energy use has on the environment
• Communication of our energy statement and energy programme to all staff, students and parents
• Ensuring suppliers and contractors are aware of our energy practice
We are currently reviewing our Energy Awareness Footprint and Statement.
A committee has been formed and are hosting a Energy Awareness week 15th to 19th May, with various activities, visits and guest speakers organised.
Watch this spot for more information, coming soon.
