School, Academy & Education Funding

ELS Education Funding: Supporting Bright Futures.

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 a recent case study.

CASE STUDY

Primary School

Location: Co. Antrim
Deposit: No Upfront Cost
Asset: LED Lighting

This cross-community grammar primary school embarked on an 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, cut lighting costs significantly, and is 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.

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.
