MP’s praise for Greenhill Primary School’s sustainability efforts

Leeds South West and Morley MP Mark Sewards visited Greenhill Primary School to see how students are embracing sustainability through Solar for Schools’ innovative programme. 

Students demonstrated how solar energy works and even brought in some snow from outside to explore how weather impacts energy generation.

This sparked conversations about high-energy consuming appliances at school and home, inspiring students to adopt more energy-conscious habits.

Mark Sewards MP also led an insightful discussion with students about laws they would change, with passionate ideas around addressing deforestation. The visit highlighted how sustainability education empowers young people to think critically about environmental issues and legislative solutions.

“It’s inspiring to see how Greenhill Primary School is using solar energy to spark meaningful conversations about sustainability’s” said Mr Sewards.

“Programs like Solar for Schools are vital in helping schools save money, reducing carbon emissions while educating students about our planet’s future. I strongly encourage more schools across my constituency to join this initiative and make a real difference.”

Greenhill Primary School’s headteacher, Matt Dawson, added: Our students are more engaged than ever in understanding how their actions impact the environment.

“This programme not only helps us reduce our energy costs but also empowers our pupils to become environmental leaders. We hope more schools join this initiative.”

Solar for Schools helps schools save money, reduce carbon emissions, and inspire the next generation through sustainability education.

With over 250 schools already benefiting from its solar installations, the organisation combines practical energy solutions with hands-on learning to promote a greener future.
