Review progress

Last year you used 17,000 kWh of gas and 16,000 kWh of electricity in the Spring half term 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £7,600 this year. 

Watch out! Up to Wednesday 19 Feb 2025 the school used 16,000 kWh of electricity during this holiday, which has cost £5,200 and generated 2,300 kg CO2. Make sure lights and electrical equipment are switched off to prevent further waste.

If you choose to leave electrical equipment running, by the end of the holidays you will have used 31,000 kWh, costing £10,000 and generating 4,400 kg CO2.
