This college is a great example of sustainability in terms of the local culture and economy and in its aims to use natural energy to pay for itself. Working together with Sleat Council we have set up a Biomass Heating System. This will take wood harvested from the local sustainable forest to ultimately provide the energy to supply the entire college.
