Deanburn Primary has already been in the news for being a ‘futuristic, eco-friendly school’ that shows ‘a green future’. All These Things Reduced The School’s Gas Consumption by 30%! Its own wind turbine.(£40 000). Grass roofs, (good for insulation). A rainwater collection system to flush toilets.

Arched roof and will have solar panels fixed on it, this means that as the sun moves from east to west the sunlight will always be captured. This is a living roof; useful because they help reduce the amount of CO2 and also the risk of roof flood. Open glass windows, which will allow natural light into classrooms. Bricks produced from recycled rubbish.

This is the school from a different perspective, it shows the school from the playground, as can be seen there will be a bridge connecting the buildings.

How can we help? How can we help? If a country generates most of its energy using dirty fossil fuels, such as coal, it will produce a high amount of C02 per unit of electricity, whilst if it uses renewable sources such as wind and hydro, it will produce less CO2. Orange Team

Light Making a Difference To reduce CO2 we can do simple things such as Use efficient light bulbs which reduce electricity use whenever needed. Fluorescent strip lighting is more efficient as the electrical charge is used to excite a gas in a tube which maximises light output with minimum heat loss - more of the energy is converted into useful light, rather than wasted as heat. Low energy motion sensor lights. The carbon impact of electricity depends on how much electricity we use and how much electricity is generated! Light Orange Team

GROUNDS GROUNDS compost gardens growing food It must look nice to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere for the students, whilst using green materials If we use the organic food in cooking the school’s meals, it will help the pupils stay alert during lessons. leftover plants from the kitchens, which are left to rot in a large bin. When they have rotted they become like very rich soil which is great for the plants is Orange Team

IN OUR SCHOOL WE AIM TO Use recycling schemes in schools help to improve the environment and can reduce money spent by the school on waste disposal Hold assemblies to inform the pupils of the recycling plans. Also, before new children come to the school they would be able to learn the school rules regarding recycling as it will be found in the school prospectus. Metal recycling schemes are good for schools with vending machines and in DT classrooms. Recycling & Waste Recycling & Waste Orange Team
