Decarbonisation Film

The premiere of a film on the decarbonisation of schools in Lancashire took place at the Everyman Cinema Clitheroe on Friday 11 March.
 
The film showcased three schools in the diocese of Blackburn – Archbishop Temple CE High School and Church of England primary schools, Parish of St Laurence and Samlesbury – on their journey to reach net-zero.

Salix Finance, which supports energy efficiency in the public sector, provided the diocese with £8.4 million, which came from the Department of Business and Industrial Strategy as part of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS).
 
St Laurence had the worst energy efficiency in the diocese of Blackburn. The school’s headteacher, Emma Marquis said: “The funding we received meant we could do it properly and thoroughly and also it was something we could teach the children whilst also making our building more efficient. I was delighted and over the moon to be approached to do this.”
