One in a Hundred



Solar panels on the hall roof were officially turned on today by a child from each class, together with colourful sunbeam character 'Sunny Solar'. UJS is one of 100 schools in the country to benefit from £20,000 solar panels funded by the Co-operative group and the government. As well as helping to provide some clean, green electricity the panels have a key role to play in educating our pupils about renewable energy and climate change. Pupils can keep track of how much energy the panels are generating and the amount of carbon dioxide they have saved to date, by checking a monitor in the main corridor by the fiction library.
