Sussex Schools Visit to Rampion Wind Farm
Local school children from Chailey, Seahaven Academy and Cardinal Newman Secondary Schools were rewarded for their hard work this year with a trip out to sea on a crew transfer vessel visiting the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm on 3 July 2024.
Four of them, Willow, Niall, Leo and Emma, have been on work experience at the Rampion Operations and Maintenance Base in Newhaven all week, helping out the team and learning the ropes on how the wind farm powers over 350,000 homes - around half the homes in Sussex - with clean, green energy.
Geography teacher Amy Sharp from Seahaven Academy joined the group on the boat today, saying the students were chosen as a reward for having a great year and for their interest in a future career in the wind energy industry.
