The school was founded in 1555 and caters for 920 pupils including those who board at the Clotherholme Road site. One of the school buildings is Grade II listed but planning documents state the solar panels will be placed to the back and around it and will not be seen from the ground. Planning documents said neighbouring residential properties around the school will not be able to see the solar panels on the school roofs.
A statement attached to the application said the solar panels are part of the school’s “sustainable and green future”. It added: “It is important to note that the visual appearance of the solar panels is appropriate for the school building in order to enhance the visionary appearance of the site as an up-to-date centre for learning while creating responsible citizens for tomorrow’s world with an appreciation for their surroundings and a duty of care for the environment.
