Assemblies
We deliver purposeful and interactive talks on energy, solar and more.
Interactive
Our educators will involve your students through questioning, quizzing, personalisation, and getting them up and active, within reason.
Delivered by engaging educators
We won't send anyone boring to deliver an assembly at your school. We promise! Our educators are highly-experienced at engaging large groups of children, of all ages, and are adept at adapting their style to suit different age groups.
Customised, if you have solar with us
We deliver bespoke assemblies to schools that already have solar with us. If you have solar at your school, but not with Solar for Schools, we may be able to offer you a bespoke assembly based on the solar data provided by your installer, depending on its availability.
Examples of themed assemblies we can provide...
Powered by the sun
This is our 'all about solar' themed assembly. It's an introductory level guide into the awesome power and potential of the sun as a renewable source of energy.

Testimonials
The children were engaged in both listening to the presentation and the practical activity. The data you shared on our schools solar energy produced and cost, was really interesting and it was great that you made it relevant for children.
TA, St Mary & St Peter’s Catholic Primary School, Norfolk
The information was well presented, and accessible, to motivate the children to look at the slides and use them to answer the questions. It was impressive to see, practically, how the relationships between the large kWh numbers were linked to the amount of power generated through the live demonstration of children running.
Headteacher, St. Augustine's Catholic Primary School, Norfolk
James's presentation was really engaging and captured the attention of the whole school community from Year 1 to Year 6. The working model of a solar pv system was particularly powerful in demonstrating the technology, and elicited a chorus of surprise and joy from the children when the light bulb came on.
