Patcham Junior School has saved £21,761 in electricity costs since installing the solar panels in 2020, and reduced its CO2 emissions by 35.73 tonnes. This is equivalent to planting 559 trees saplings. (BHESCo Report 2025)

"THIS WEEK'S SUSTAINABILITY TIP"

Harvesting Rainwater – How can we make the best out of these rainy days??
Did you know that a rain barrel in the UK can save up to 1,300 gallons of water during peak summer months?

       What can you do?

·        Watering plants, lawns and gardens - rainwater is actually better for plants than treated water because it's soft, slightly acidic, and free of harmful chemicals!

·        Cleaning outdoor surfaces such as patios and driveways

·        Car washing

·        Filling swimming pools (must be properly filtered) or ponds

·        Toilet flushing

·        Laundry, Bathing and Dishwashing

·        Drinking and Cooking

Our Sustainability Plan page is regularly updated with all the steps Patcham Junior is taking towards Zero Net 2030, and you can find all weekly Sustainablility Tips added at the bottom of the page.

Please check our board at the main gate for more information on how you can help us: 

Mrs Morra (Sustainability Leader) has gathered a variety of seeds from Seedy Sunday event and donated them to the upcoming Kitchen Garden! They’re all either local or heritage seeds and we can’t wait to see our first yield! Also, Nurture groups have braved the wind and rain to spot as many different birds as they could within our school grounds. In only one hour they recorded:1 Blackbird, 4 Carrion crows, 2 Robins, 14 Feral Pigeons, 3 Herring gulls and 5 Jackdaws! They received a certificate signed by Sir David Attenborough and the Big School’s Birdwatch one too! Well done!
