Pittington Primary School

The Power Savers at Pittington Primary School have been hard at work with their OASES Energy Officer to help their school save energy and educate everyone about why this is important.

The Power Savers had a lot of prior knowledge and were excited to get started on making changes in their school. They began by conducting an energy audit around their school to discover how much energy was being wasted. They found that a lot of their classrooms left lights and computers on and even the staff room had work to do with kettles and microwaves being left on! Following this the Power Savers went round the entire school placing red and green stickers on switches – green means you can turn the switch off and red means it has to stay on. They also created energy saving posters to be put up around school to remind everyone to save energy and help save the planet.
