Net Zero Accelerator Programme Pathfinder
Meeting the Net Zero Challenge
The UK Government is on a mission to support schools in meeting the net zero challenge and to help the next generation to lead the way in climate change action.
The Department for Education and LocatED are investing in the first stage of this journey, and have selected the Barker Consortium of net zero experts to work with 25 partner schools to deliver a pathfinder project which will create a national exemplar model for all schools.

The funding will enable changes to your school buildings to reduce energy and carbon emissions by improving your heating and lighting efficiency, buying cheaper and greener energy, and for some schools improving insulation, converting lighting to LED and installing solar panels.
We will also be working with teachers and students to develop Climate Action Plans, setting out immediate changes to how you use your school buildings that will directly impact the reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions.
