Help Ysgol Gynradd Coety Primary School get solar
Walk past the gates on Ffordd Yr Hebog and you see what this corner of Bridgend is built around. Ysgol Gynradd Coety Primary School is where Coety’s children spend their days, and where the rest of us meet them at pick-up, sports days and the odd rainy assembly. The roof above those classrooms is doing nothing useful while the energy bill keeps arriving. I want funded solar on that roof because a primary school should not have to choose between keeping the lights on and paying for the extras that make school feel generous. Neighbours already share the pavements, the park and the school run. Sharing a push for panels is the same spirit. No grand claims, just a plain hope: less money leaving the building for electricity, more staying with the pupils who live on these streets. If you know Coety, you know this roof is worth backing.

The school and its community
Ysgol Gynradd Coety Primary School stands on Ffordd Yr Hebog in Coety, Bridgend. It teaches the children growing up in this newer part of Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr, and it is one of the few places where the estate naturally gathers. Parents know the gate. Pupils know the playground. In a community still putting down roots, the school is already the landmark. A solar nomination starts with that simple fact: this is a real, busy building, open through the school year, with a roof sitting over local children’s days. Neighbours who back Coety Primary are asking for that everyday place to be looked after, not for a slogan on a leaflet.
Why solar helps the energy bill
A primary school uses electricity all day: lights in classrooms, screens, kitchens, heaters and the systems that keep a building safe for children. Those costs come out of the same pot that has to stretch across staffing, resources and the small extras families notice. Solar on the roof would let the school generate some of its own power while the sun is up and lessons are underway, which is when a school actually needs energy. That does not magic away a bill, and nobody should pretend a panel is a grant or a guaranteed saving. It does mean less of the school’s money has to leave the building for daytime electricity, so more can stay with the pupils of Coety.
How neighbours can vote and boost
Mo’s Solar Mission is how neighbours put a school forward and then help that nomination travel. If you live near Coety, or you simply care that a Bridgend primary gets a fair look, you can vote for Ysgol Gynradd Coety Primary School on this page and ask other people to do the same. A boost is not a cheque and it is not a promise of funding. It is a visible show of local support: a vote, a share with the school-run chat, a word at the gate on Ffordd Yr Hebog. The more neighbours who add their name, the harder this roof is to overlook when funded solar is being chosen.
