What you did

Eco Council put posters up around the school and spoke in school assembly to tell others to wear an extra layer of clothing on Friday 14th February - the last day of term.

Year 6 Eco Team representatives wrote an article for the school newsletter to tell people about Layer Up Power Down Day. 

Activity description

Take charge of the heating at your school by running a Layer Up Power Down Day.

Many schools spend a large proportion of their heating energy warming the school to an excessive temperature or when its empty.

We're hoping that by encouraging schools turn their heating off or down on one day - ideally a Friday or Monday plus the closest weekend - we can raise awareness of how much energy schools are wasting by keeping their heating too high or when schools are closed - especially at the weekends and over holidays.

Download our poster (or create your own), tell your whole school community, and get ready to layer up.

Don't forget to look at your heating data the following week to spot how much difference your action has made.
