Hertfordshire – Ashlyn’s School

The main buildings at Ashlyns School are listed but the school is building a new sports hall which will also serve the wider community.  The Co-operative has been working with the School and local community group Transition Town Berkhampsted to secure the maximum solar array the new building can accommodate to increase its environmental sustainability.  Students from the school will study the progress of the co-operative in business studies.

"This is an exciting opportunity for us to combine cost saving benefits with an educational resource - and have a beneficial effect on our carbon footprint. Schools should be at the forefront of using technology to reduce our environmental impact but these are often costly; working with the School Energy Co-op has made this possible for us."
Jacky Webby, former Chair of Governors, Ashlyns School
