Eco Team Pictures
Welcome to our Eco-Schools webpage. The eco-team was awarded our fifth Green Flag award in 2024.
There are a number of eco-related projects going on at Bidston Avenue Primary school, including:
- Planting our Hedgerow (1000 trees/plants growing around the school border to reduce vehicle emissions from Tollemache Road and Bidston Avenue) with the team from Mersey Forest and The Woodland Trust
- Our solar panel installation scheme in association with Solar for Schools.
Our Solar Panel Scheme
We have 194 solar panels installed on the flat roof areas of our school. This makes a total generating amount of 76KWh of power.
Between July 2020 and the end of August 2024, we have saved 37 tonnes of CO2 from being generated and added to our atmosphere.
On top of being eco-friendly, our current solar power scheme will help us to save money over the next 25 years. This could amount to approximately £194,000+, which goes back into our school budget.
From July 2020 to August 2024, we have generated 163MW of solar electricity. What we don't consume in school will be exported to the National Grid for someone else to use.
Check out this page to see how much electricity is being generated:
If you wish to add panels to your own school roof then contact Solar for Schools who can fund 100% of your panels or a percentage of your scheme. For more information go to: https://www.solarforschools.co.uk
