In early 2007, npower renewables and education partner CREATE (Centre for Research, Education and Training in Energy) contacted primary and secondary schools in the immediate area around Hameldon Hill, to invite them to take part in a programme of workshops aimed at educating young people about climate change, renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Crawshawbooth Primary School

Three primary schools and two secondary schools have taken part in the programme of workshops which have been developed in line with the requirements of National Curriculum Key Stages 2 and 3 respectively.

Stonefold Primary School

The workshops involved pupils taking part in activities such as performing short plays of how climate change is affecting children around the world, investigating the power of the wind and the sun as renewable energy sources and carrying out energy audits of their school buildings.
