Plan and run a campaign to switch off lights and use natural light on sunny days

Biscovey Nursery & Infants' Academy, Thursday, 20 March 2025
30 points 10 pupils Change-maker KS1, KS2, KS3

We have been encouraging our staff to switch off lights in the corridors and classrooms as we have adequate natural light.  We plan to colour code all switches so it is easier for the children to identify possible energy savings as well, especially when going outside for lunch break on sunny/bright days.

Activity description

Did you know? Making good use of daylight in a classroom can reduce lighting costs by 19%. 

In this activity pupils discover how classroom set up can increase natural light levels and explore the optimal levels of light in their classrooms.
