ELS Education Funding: Supporting Bright Futures.
TRUSTED FUNDERS & PARTNERS
What is Education Funding?
With the ongoing pressures on budgets within the UK’s education sector and a reduction in funding grants, schools & academies like yours are looking at more innovative and cost-effective solutions to fund their equipment requirements.
This is where compliant leasing comes in, allowing your school or academy to fund a wide range of equipment from mobile classrooms, LED lighting, IT equipment through to outdoor/playground equipment.
Whatever your requirements, we can provide you with a compliant leasing method. Whilst there are many benefits to leasing for schools, let's first look at some recent case studies.
CASE STUDY
Primary School, Co. Antrim
This primary school accessed business finance & leasing to fund their ambitious project to slash energy costs and boost sustainability. By installing state-of-the-art, energy-efficient lighting, the school achieved a remarkable improvement in light quality. They cut lighting costs significantly, and are set to reduce carbon emissions by 336 tonnes over five years. This remarkable initiative, reducing electricity use for lighting, translates to over £24,000 of annual energy savings. They worked closely with ELS and the lighting provider. We tailored a 7-year agreement ensuring financial positivity throughout its term.

CASE STUDY
Multi Academy Trust, Manchester
This school trust, encompassing four environmentally conscious schools, committed to enhancing their sustainability while enriching the learning environment. Driven by the goal to minimise their carbon footprint and energy usage, the trust invested in an LED lighting upgrade across all schools. This was executed with minimal disruption. This strategic move not only improved lighting quality but also achieved a remarkable 63% reduction in lighting costs. That translated to £251,005 in savings over a decade. Furthermore, this initiative significantly cut carbon emissions by 560 tonnes, showcasing the trust's dedication to environmental stewardship and fiscal responsibility.

Benefits of Leasing for Schools
One of the key areas for schools & academies is their commitment to reduce carbon usage with campaigns to urge them to be net zero within 10 years. As part of this we are supporting investment in energy, heating, and power through our leasing solutions, enabling schools & academies to offset the investment costs against their savings in reduced consumption of energy.
