Help Avenue Primary School get solar
I walk past Avenue Primary School most mornings, on the way down Avenue Road Extension, and the building always looks busy before the bell. Parents cluster by the gates, children pile in with book bags, and the lights are already on in the classrooms. It is an ordinary Leicester primary, not a headline, but that is exactly why its roof should be in the running for funded solar. A school like this uses power all day, term after term, and every pound that does not go on the electricity bill can stay with teaching, trips, and the small things families notice. The site sits in a lived-in neighbourhood — houses, the road, people who know the place by sight. Putting panels on that roof would be something neighbours could point to, not a distant scheme. I would like to see Avenue Primary get a fair shot at solar that cuts running costs without asking parents to fund it. If you live nearby, this nomination is for you to back.

A Leicester primary at the heart of the street
Avenue Primary School stands at 168-174 Avenue Road Extension, Leicester, LE2 3EJ, in a residential stretch where people pass the gates every day. It is a real local primary, not a company registered at Companies House, and this page does not pretend otherwise. What neighbours see is a working school: arrivals, collections, clubs, and classrooms that stay in use through the school day. The roof is part of the streetscape, visible to families who already know the building. A nomination here is about that shared place. Solar on a school roof is a practical community asset, sitting above lessons rather than on spare commercial land. Backing Avenue Primary means backing a site people can name, walk to, and recognise.
Why solar can ease the energy bill
Schools draw electricity through the day, when daylight is strongest and panels can do useful work. Avenue Primary is no exception: lighting, IT, and kitchens all add to a bill that has to be met before money reaches the classroom. Solar does not remove every cost, and this page will not guess output, savings, or payback. What it can say is simple. Daytime generation on site can offset electricity the school would otherwise buy, which leaves more of the budget for teaching and care. That matters for a primary serving local families, where running costs are felt indirectly in what the school can offer. Funded solar, if secured, would put that help on the roof rather than on parents.
