Reminders and alerts

Reminders

Your school has four electricity meters and we are displaying the data for two meters which serve the main school and sixth form. We are not displaying the energy usage for the Cocker Building. Your school has two gas meters that serve the Sports Hall and the Sixth Form. Unfortunately is a delay in us receiving gas data from your current supplier and there are gaps in this data. The dashboard is currently displaying recent gas usage from September 2024. The main school is no longer heated by oil and we hope to be able to display gas usage from this area on your dashboard soon.
