Moor Hall in the News - Solar Panels

Solar panels save Moor Hall Primary School £2,000-a-year  

The first two phases of the Energy Savers scheme have seen solar panels added to more than 1,300 homes and 20 other buildings across the city.

Birmingham City Council's Vicky Hewitson, Moor Hall Primary headteacher Andrew Steggall and Coun Brigid Jones inspect the new solar panels at the school.

New solar panels are set to save a Birmingham school more than £2,000-a-year – equivalent to the cost of powering more than 200 computers.

Moor Hall Primary School in Sutton Coldfield has fixed 160 solar panels to its roof as part of the Birmingham Energy Savers initiative.

The first two phases of the Energy Savers scheme have seen solar panels added to more than 1,300 homes and 20 other buildings across the city.

Moor Hall headteacher Andrew Steggal said: “It is extremely important that the children learn about being ‘eco friendly’.

‘‘In this way we can not only improve our efficiency as a school but, most importantly, encourage children to be proactive in sustaining the world they are growing up in,” he said.

In the third phase of Birmingham Energy Savers, which is set to be launched before Christmas, the council will work with Carillion Energy Services to deliver energy-saving projects to up to 60,000 homes and 1,000 other buildings by 2020.

Four Oaks Learning Trust For Excellence

Following lengthy discussions we are proposing to become the first Primary Co-Operative Learning Trust in Birmingham. The Co-Operative Trust will consist of seven highly successful schools working together to inspire excellence in everything that we do and so further improve the education of the children across our family of schools.

During this consultation period, we would welcome your views on this matter.
