Help Greenmeadow Primary School get solar
Walk past Greenmeadow Primary School on Pen Close and the roof is the first thing that holds the morning sun. The school sits in the middle of the estate, with houses, paths and the green around it. Children are in and out all week. Parents know the gate. It is not a distant building. It is ours. We would like funded solar on that roof because the sun already lands there and the school still has to pay for the power it uses. Lights, heating controls, kitchens and IT do not switch themselves off when the bill arrives. We are not claiming a figure for what the panels would make, and we are not inventing a payback. We only know a working roof in Swindon is a fair place to start. A nomination from neighbours says the community has looked at this building and chosen it. Greenmeadow is a real primary school with a real address. If Mo's Solar Mission can fund a roof, this one should be in the queue.

The school and the estate around it
Greenmeadow Primary School is at 15 Pen Close, Greenmeadow, Swindon, SN25 3LW. It sits in the estate, not on a distant campus, and local families use the gate on ordinary school mornings. The building is part of the week's rhythm for people who live within walking distance. That makes a neighbour nomination honest. We already know the place, and we can picture panels on a roof we pass. We are not speaking for staff, and we will not invent a phone number, email or headteacher. There is no Companies House match, which fits a school rather than a registered company. The case rests on a public fact: a real Swindon primary, with a roof this community would see.
Why solar belongs on the energy bill
A primary school uses electricity on every open day. Lights, kitchen equipment, IT and the controls for heating and hot water do not pause because the sun is out. When power is made on the roof, more of what the building needs can come from the site itself, and less has to be bought from the grid at the time it is used. We will not invent a kilowatt figure, a percentage or a payback. Those need a proper survey. Daytime use and a roof in the sun are still a sensible match. Power made on site can mean less bought from the grid while the school is open, so more of the budget can stay with teaching.
How neighbours can vote and boost
Mo's Solar Mission is the place neighbours go to put a roof forward and to show support. If you live near Greenmeadow, or you simply know the school, you can back this nomination on the Solar Mission page at kilowatts.uk/solar-mission/. A vote is a public show of support. A boost is you asking other neighbours to look, so the school is not left as a quiet name on a list. Share the page with people on the estate, at the gate, and in local groups you already use. Say what you are asking for in plain words: funded solar for Greenmeadow Primary School, not a made-up saving.
