I pass Garlinge Primary School & Nursery on Westfield Road and I keep looking at that roof. It is a proper local school, with a nursery alongside, sitting in Margate where families already know the gates, the pavement and the morning rush. Energy bills do not stay in a spreadsheet. They show up as harder choices for a place that should be spending on children, not on every unit it can avoid. I am not claiming a magic saving, and I will not invent one. I am saying a busy school roof, in use through the day, is a fair candidate for funded solar. Panels there would generate power where it is needed, on a building the neighbourhood already trusts. If Mo's Solar Mission is choosing real roofs, this one in CT9 5PA deserves a proper hearing. Please vote and boost Garlinge. It is our school, on our street, and the case is simple enough to say out loud.

Coastal and inland weather around Jubilee Rd, Formby, Liverpool L37 2HW, UK still leaves St Luke's Church of England Primary School with a long heating season. Solar on the hall roof would take pressure off the energy bill.

Comberbach Primary sits on Mather Drive, a village school that Northwich's edge still thinks of as ours. Parents walk children in, neighbours wave from the lane, and the hall fills when the village needs a room. The roof is up there every day, catching whatever Cheshire light arrives, and giving nothing back. Putting funded solar on that roof is not a glossy extra. It is a way for a building we already share to use its own sunshine and ease the electricity bill, so more of the school's money can stay with teaching, trips and the small things children notice. We already look after this place in ordinary ways. Nominating Comberbach Primary on Mo's Solar Mission is how neighbours say the roof should work as hard as the people under it, and that a real school in CW9 deserves a fair look for community-backed solar.

Shawclough Community Primary School sits on Thrum Hall Lane in Rochdale, and if you live round here you already know the place. The playground noise carries, parents gather at the gate, and the building is busy from the first bell through to clubs. That roof is doing ordinary work every day, keeping classrooms dry while lessons and dinners carry on underneath. It is exactly the sort of roof that ought to be working harder for the people under it. Funded solar would not be a flashy extra for a distant campus. It would sit above a community primary that families in Shawclough already rely on. Energy costs are a quiet pressure on schools like this. Money that does not have to go on electricity can stay closer to teaching, trips and the small things that make a school feel looked after. I would back this nomination because the benefit stays local: a real Rochdale school, a real street, and a roof neighbours can point to.

If you walk past All Saints Primary School on Hollybush Lane, you see a proper village school sitting in the middle of Datchworth life. Parents gather at the gate, children spill out towards the green, and the hall is used for the sorts of things a small community still does together. The roof above all that is doing nothing useful with the daylight that falls on it most of the year. I would like to see that roof put to work. Funded solar would not be a flashy extra for a school that already has everything. It would be a quiet, practical way to cut what the school spends on electricity, so more of the budget can stay with teaching, trips and the building itself. Neighbours know this place. We drop children off, we pass the playground, and we know the building by sight. Backing solar here is backing a school that belongs to the village, not a scheme dreamt up somewhere else.

Brockley Primary School sits on Clowne Road in Shuttlewood, a small community just outside Chesterfield. From the pavement you can see a proper school roof over classrooms where local children spend their days. Neighbours know this is not a distant institution. It is the place families walk to, the hall used for gatherings, and a steady presence on the street. Funding solar here would put generation where it is used, on a public building that serves Shuttlewood every term. The money saved on electricity could stay with the school rather than leaving the village as a bill. I would rather see panels on that roof than another year of watching energy costs eat into what teachers can do for the children. A nomination is a neighbour saying this roof is worth backing.

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.

From Clarence Road the school roof sits above the everyday bustle of drop-off and home time, and most mornings the Portland wind is already up before the children arrive. St George's Primary is one of those buildings the neighbourhood feels, even if we only walk past: the place where local children learn, where parents meet at the gate, and where the lights stay on through grey Dorset days. A funded solar array on that roof would not be a flashy extra. It would put the island's daylight to work for a community school, so more of the daytime electricity need not be bought in while the sun is out. Neighbours know how exposed these roofs are, and how carefully a school budget has to be spent. That is why this nomination belongs with Mo's Solar Mission.

If you live on Fox Hill you already know the school on Keats Road. At half past three the pavement fills with buggies, scooters and grandparents, and the building behind them has been busy since early morning. Fox Hill Primary is not a showpiece campus. It is a working primary on Fox Hill Crescent’s edge, with a broad roof over classrooms, a hall and the usual kitchen kit that never really switches off. Neighbours see the lights on for clubs, the hall hired for community nights, and the same faces year after year. That is why this roof should be in the running for funded solar. Daytime electricity made on site would sit under the rooms that use it, and every unit the school does not have to buy is money that can stay with the children. No glossy promise — just a plain roof, a busy school, and a community that would rather see the bill eased than watch another winter of high unit prices eat the budget.

If you walk Ladywell Road in Tunstall, you know St Mary's C of E (A) Primary School. It sits in the middle of the streets we use every day, with children coming and going and families stopping at the gate. The roof is there in plain sight, above classrooms that stay busy through the school year. When energy prices jump, a place like this feels it in the budget that should go on teaching, not on keeping the lights on. Putting solar on that roof is a practical way for neighbours to back a school we already trust. It would not change the character of St Mary's. It would simply let more of the daytime sun do useful work for the children of Tunstall. That is why this nomination deserves a proper look, and why local votes matter.

Hady Primary School serves families around Hady Ln, Chesterfield S41 0DF, UK. Staff have looked at solar for years; this nomination is so neighbours can help get it over the line.

I walk past Oasis Academy Parkwood most days, and the roof over Plymouth Road always looks like a missed chance. This is a proper neighbourhood school in Scunthorpe, not a distant campus. Children from nearby streets come through those gates, and families feel the cost of keeping a large building warm and lit. Funded solar on that roof would put clean generation where people can see it, right above classrooms rather than on a far-off field. It would not magic away every bill, and nobody should pretend the savings are already known, but it would give the school a steadier way to meet daytime demand and free a bit of budget for teaching. Neighbours notice when a public building starts pulling its weight. Nominating Parkwood is a practical vote for the children who use it, and for a street that would rather see sunshine working than wasted.
