Aims of SCoRE programme
Develop capability of LA’s and schools to take action on carbon & resource efficiencyCarbon is key focus, but wider resource efficiency tooLA’s define and realise own carbon reduction outcomesPractical, well-structured initiatives & plansPilot initiatives and whole schools estate delivery planEstablish wide stakeholder support for actionCollaborative & bespoke supportMake business case for actionCommence rollout of support
Why take action?
£543m building energy in England’s schools~ total school emissions approx 7mtCO2
21% of public sector building emissionsLarge proportion of local authority CO2 emissions
Great opportunity to save money• CRC costs incurred by LA’s• Energy savings in schools
Link to curriculumEngage next generationCommunity leadershipImproved environment for study

Programme Direction• Direct the programme• Monitor progress of programme• Ensure authorities’ needs met• Ensure quality expectations met• Draw on previous CT experience
EM SCoRE Team
Whole school approach:• Engage key stakeholder groups• Maximise behavioural change opportunities• Explore range of technical opportunities
Practical support and resource development Communication & marketing of programme initiatives Clearly defined strategy:• Quantified CO2 & £ savings
• Clear target for reduction (inc baseline)• Strong business case for action• Good governance; key stakeholder support• Plan signed off at senior level
Key elements for success

Some Mixed Opinions
CRC – who pays?FITs – love or hate?Pilot school selection– Just supportive schools?– Just poor performers?– Just secondary schools?– A mix?
Extent of centralised support
Much Common Ground
Most schools on central energy supply contractsUnderstanding of carbon footprint (building energy only)Waste and transport support providedMost have PFI schools – not for SCoREDECs seen by schools as ‘necessary evil’Good curriculum resources
Fundamental SCoRE objectives– Demonstrating a successful schools approach– Creating a legacy (resource development)
Resource Development 1
Co-ordination and Communication Strategy
Generally wide-ranging support is (or should), be available to schoolsNot all stakeholders on-board (some ‘blockers’)Access to key schools staff can be poorMuch reliance on ‘one-to-one’ communications
General desire to develop an effective co-ordinated approach to delivery and communication
Resource Development 2
AMR Development
AMR roll-out generally well advancedMost should be complete by JulyPro-active use of existing HHD is patchyProposed use by schools is variable
Widespread desire to have guidance on use (and maximising benefit of), newly available AMR data– LA Climate Change teams– Individual schools
Resource Development 3
Business Case & Selling to Schools
Receptiveness of Governors, Head Teachers and Bursars is variableSome ‘blocking’ (e.g. Salix)Limited use of performance analysis to demonstrate savings potential
General desire to increase schools buy-in
Resource Development 4
Practical Whole School Savings
All LAs recognise importance of ‘behavioural change’ opportunitiesWhole school approach important (pupils and staff)Some notable successes, but much more to go atLittle use of data
General desire to develop approach, to maximise savings and increase persistence.
Resource Development 5
Eco-schools Enhancement
Most LAs support Eco-schools (some strongly)Seen as providing a good foundationIncreasing emphasis on energy
Widespread desire to maximise the uptake and benefits of Eco-schools participation
Resource Development 6
Invest to Save Opportunities
Most LAs operating Salix revolving funds (plus some others)Mixed uptake in schoolsGeneral shortage of new schemesSome historical issues with accurate quantification of savings/costs
Widespread desire to improve uptake of Salix in schools (identification, quantification, implementation)
Resource Development 7
Energy Training
100% concern re. caretaker training on heating controlsSome LA sustainability staff would benefit from energy skills training
General desire to tackle heating control (and other training issues)
Resource Development 8
Renewable Energy Guidance
Variable LA attitude to FITs and other renewablesGeneral acknowledgement that there are issues that need to be managed effectively
Widespread desire to crystallise LA position and produce clear guidance (some have done)
Resource Development 9
LA Schools CMP Toolkit
Recognition that whatever approach is developed will need to be formalised and recorded in order to provide persistenceBusiness case required to ensure on-going LA financing and other resourcing
Need to encapsulate in concise Schools Carbon Management Plan
Conclusion
Diverse LAs, with diverse immediate priorities
Shared overall objectivesExpertise already exists in many areasSome areas are universally problematic
