Case Study
Middle Barton School
The project:
Middle Barton school is based in the heart of the countryside in north Oxfordshire. It has a good track record of environmental consciousness, achieving the Eco Schools silver status.
The project was constrained by the amount of available, suitable roof space - however they have a very attractive installation that will make a significant contribution towards their energy needs.
With over 100 pupils, it is hoped the project will play an important role in raising the profile of renewable energy, and the value this will play increasingly in the lives of younger generations.
