Watch out - the heating or hot water is running during the current school holidays! Up to Wednesday 19 Feb 2025 the school used 12,000 kWh of gas during this holiday, which has cost £490 and generated 2,200 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 24,000 kWh, costing £950 and generating 4,300 kg CO2.
