Help West Monkton Church of England Primary School get solar
I walk past West Monkton Church of England Primary School most weekday mornings. It stands on Bridgwater Road in Bathpool, Monkton Heathfield, Taunton, a Church of England primary for local families rather than a business, and there is no Companies House match behind the name. The roof faces the Somerset weather that we all know: bright spells between the showers, and long grey months when the heating never quite switches off. From the pavement you see the usual rhythm of a village school, coats, bags, staff opening doors, parents hurrying on. Those rooms still need light, warmth and power, and the bill for that power comes out of a budget that could otherwise go on teaching. Funded solar on a roof that is already standing would be a quiet, useful change. I would like neighbours on Mo's Solar Mission to back this nomination so the school can make better use of the daylight it already gets.

The school and community
West Monkton Church of England Primary School stands on Bridgwater Road in Bathpool, Monkton Heathfield, Taunton, TA2 8FT. It is a Church of England primary for local families, not a company, and there is no Companies House match for the school. Neighbours know it as part of the daily round: the morning walk to the gate, the line of coats, the hall used through the year. The nomination is for that roof, on a building the community already shares with its children and staff. Solar here would sit on a place people recognise, rather than on an anonymous site. It is a straightforward case for putting a familiar school building to better use in the daylight it already receives.
Why solar helps the energy bill
A primary school uses electricity for classroom lights, heating on cold mornings, kitchen equipment and the systems that keep the building usable. Those costs sit in the same budget as teaching, trips and repairs. Solar on a roof that is already there can supply some of that power when the sun is out, so less of the daytime demand has to be bought in. This nomination does not promise a saving, a payback figure or a grant. Power made on the roof is power the school need not pay for at that moment. Across a school year, that can ease the energy bill without taking space from the playground.
