Grindleford Primary School Launches Solar Panel Fundraising Campaign

Grindleford Primary School have launched an exciting campaign to raise £12,000 to buy and install solar panels, after winning one of just 15 places on the national Solar Schools project. 

Once installed the panels will generate clean electricity, help cut the schools energy bills and generate additional income which will be spent on school resources, equipment and a bike shed.The fundraising drive kicked off with a Green Day where pupils wore green clothes, bought cakes donated by the teachers and had fun outdoor activities in the school garden.The project helps school children learn  first hand about renewable energy, climate change and energy efficiency. Amy Cameron, Solar Schools campaign manager said: ‘It’s going to be a big challenge, but we know, if the local area gets behind them, they’re more than capable of doing it!’
