Bath and North East Somerset

Resource Futures has enjoyed working with schools in Bath and North East Somerset for many years, helping them to progress through the Eco-Schools awards scheme and, more recently, supporting them with energy and carbon management.  For more details, read about our Energy Futures project.

For 2013-14 we are providing:

  • Training courses to inspire senior managers, teachers, and business managers to improve energy monitoring and efficiency, including exploring ways to involve pupils and how to using energy efficiency work to gain Eco-Schools awards

 

  • Individual support to schools on energy efficiency, depending on the needs of individual schools, including:
    • Planning meetings with key staff
    • Planning meetings with pupil Eco-Comittees
    • Awareness raising assemblies
    • Environmental workshops

This work is part of a package provided by Bath and North East Somerset Council, which includes energy audits for all B&NES schools, support with funding, and online access to energy use data gathered from automatic meter readers.

Case Studies

Reducing energy use in Bristol schools

Resource Futures worked in partnership with Bristol City Council, Green Path Solutions and Sustainable Redland to help Bristol Primary schools reduce their energy usage.  The key messages were why saving energy is so important to help the environment and save money and how everyone can do their bit to help. 

Devon Composting in Schools project

The Devon Composting in Schools project, delivered by Resource Futures, was possibly the biggest schools' food waste composting programme in the country, involving over 80 Devon primary and secondary schools.
