Nominated by St Mary's C of E (A) Primary School
Help St Mary's C of E (A) Primary School get solar
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.

The school and its community
St Mary's C of E (A) Primary School stands on Ladywell Road in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, ST6 5DE. It is a Church of England aided primary in a close-knit part of the city, where families, churches and local streets already know the school by name. Children walk or are dropped off along familiar roads, and the building is part of the everyday view for neighbours. A nomination is not a claim about private contacts or hidden paperwork. It is a public suggestion that this well-known school roof is a fair place for community-backed solar. Supporting St Mary's means supporting a local primary that serves Tunstall families, without inventing promises about who runs it or how to reach them.
Why solar can ease the energy bill
A primary school uses power through the school day, when classrooms, halls and offices are occupied and daylight is often available. Solar panels on a suitable roof can generate electricity on site during those hours, so less power needs to be bought from the grid at the times the building is busiest. That can take pressure off the energy bill and leave more of the school budget for learning. Savings depend on the roof, the system and future prices, so this page does not guess output, payback or a fixed return. What neighbours can say with confidence is simpler: daytime generation is a practical way to cut exposure to high bills, and a school roof in regular use is a sensible place to start.
Vote and boost on Mo's Solar Mission
Mo's Solar Mission on kilowatts.uk is how neighbours put a school forward and then show support. If you live nearby or know St Mary's, you can nominate the school and share the page with other Tunstall families. Votes and boosts help the mission see which roofs local people want funded. Share the nomination with parents, church contacts and neighbours on Ladywell Road and the surrounding streets, and ask them to add their own support rather than relying on one voice. Keep it neighbourly: no need for private numbers or made-up savings. A clear local vote, repeated by people who know the school, is what lifts St Mary's up the mission.
