Just before Christmas, Viridor welcomed teachers and pupils from the Bicester School to its state-of-the-art Energy Recovery Facility at Ardley to mark the start of a partnership to help pupils gain invaluable insight into how subjects, such as maths and science, directly link to careers within the recycling, resources and renewable energy sector.
The partnership, brought together by Business in the Community, and known as ‘Business Class’, develops local clusters of businesses from across a wide spectrum of industries and pairs them with local schools. The pupils learn about how the facility operates, relying on the principles that are first developed at school.
