Review progress

Watch out - the heating or hot water is running during the current school holidays! Up to Monday 17 Feb 2025 the school used 24,000 kWh of gas during this holiday, which has cost £1,800 and generated 4,400 kg CO2. Make sure both your heating and hot water are switched off to prevent further waste.

If you choose to leave your heating and/or hot water running, by the end of the holidays you will have used 78,000 kWh, costing £5,900 and generating 14,000 kg CO2.

Last year you used 64,000 kWh of gas and 22,000 kWh of electricity in the Spring half term 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £9,400 this year.
