Some Mixed OpinionsCRC who pays?FITs love or hate?Pilot school selectionJust supportive schools?Just poor performers?Just secondary schools?A mix?Extent of centralised support

Much Common GroundMost schools on central energy supply contractsUnderstanding of carbon footprint (building energy only)Waste and transport support providedMost have PFI schools not for SCoREDECs seen by schools as necessary evilGood curriculum resources

Fundamental SCoRE objectivesDemonstrating a successful schools approachCreating a legacy (resource development)

Resource Development 1Co-ordination and Communication StrategyGenerally wide-ranging support is (or should), be available to schoolsNot all stakeholders on-board (some blockers)Access to key schools staff can be poorMuch reliance on one-to-one communications

General desire to develop an effective co-ordinated approach to delivery and communicationResource Development 2AMR DevelopmentAMR roll-out generally well advancedMost should be complete by JulyPro-active use of existing HHD is patchyProposed use by schools is variable

Widespread desire to have guidance on use (and maximising benefit of), newly available AMR dataLA Climate Change teamsIndividual schools

Resource Development 3Business Case & Selling to SchoolsReceptiveness of Governors, Head Teachers and Bursars is variableSome blocking (e.g. Salix)Limited use of performance analysis to demonstrate savings potential

General desire to increase schools buy-in

Resource Development 4Practical Whole School SavingsAll LAs recognise importance of behavioural change opportunitiesWhole school approach important (pupils and staff)Some notable successes, but much more to go atLittle use of data

General desire to develop approach, to maximise savings and increase persistence.Resource Development 5Eco-schools EnhancementMost LAs support Eco-schools (some strongly)Seen as providing a good foundationIncreasing emphasis on energy

Widespread desire to maximise the uptake and benefits of Eco-schools participationResource Development 6Invest to Save OpportunitiesMost LAs operating Salix revolving funds (plus some others)Mixed uptake in schoolsGeneral shortage of new schemesSome historical issues with accurate quantification of savings/costs

Widespread desire to improve uptake of Salix in schools (identification, quantification, implementation)Resource Development 7Energy Training100% concern re. caretaker training on heating controlsSome LA sustainability staff would benefit from energy skills training

General desire to tackle heating control (and other training issues)

Resource Development 8Renewable Energy GuidanceVariable LA attitude to FITs and other renewablesGeneral acknowledgement that there are issues that need to be managed effectively

Widespread desire to crystallise LA position and produce clear guidance (some have done)Resource Development 9LA Schools CMP ToolkitRecognition that whatever approach is developed will need to be formalised and recorded in order to provide persistenceBusiness case required to ensure on-going LA financing and other resourcing

Need to encapsulate in concise Schools Carbon Management Plan

ConclusionDiverse LAs, with diverse immediate priorities

Shared overall objectivesExpertise already exists in many areasSome areas are universally problematic
