Students will be bright sparks thanks to green energy project

A PRIMARY school that already boasts a tribe of eco-warriors will soon be seeing its pupils become sun worshippers.They won't be spending their time sunbathing though '“ they'll be studying how renewable energy works through sun-powered electricity in the school.

St Mary and St Paul First School at South Harting now has 52 photovoltaic cells on its roof, thanks to grant support and fundraising. Not only will they provide electricity for the school, they will also be a learning tool for pupils, teachers and visitors to understand more about the environment. As an added bonus, money saved on fuel bills will be directed into educational resources for the children.
