Solar panels lighting up life in the classroom
10:37am Tuesday 3rd May 2005
A GROUNDBREAKING environmental project is bringing sunshine into the lives of schoolchildren.
Stillness Infant School, Brockley Rise, Forest Hill, is the first public building in Lewisham to be fitted with a solar-panelled roof.
The school has worked with Lewisham Council to develop the energy-saving measure.
The new roof is linked to a computer system.
The pupils are kept up-to-date with how much electricity and carbon dioxide is being saved.
Teacher Janet Hurst, who has been heavily involved in the project, said: "If every public building followed our lead it would make a world of difference."
