East Sussex – Glenleigh Park Primary Academy

Glenleigh Park Primary Academy is a primary school in Bexhill-on-Sea. Over the summer of 2014 SEC installed a 150kW of solar PV (spread out over 7 of their roofs). We think this still one of the largest community owned primary school installations in the UK.

Glenleigh Park Primary Academy  is one of the schools of the Aurora Academies Trust.  Following our first successful installation at Glenleigh Park  other schools in the Aurora Trust joined Schools' Energy Co-operative and now have their own installations.

“Glenleigh Park school is leading the country in its ambitious use of solar panels. As a champion of solar PV for many years, I am delighted to see such a nationally significant project in my own back yard!
Bexhill students and their terrific teachers are showing everyone how you can help our environment and slash your energy bill, in Glenleigh Park’s case by a staggering 75%. We now need other schools to get on board with the solar revolution!”
former MP Gregory Barker (now Lord Barker).
