Reminders

At the moment we are only displaying electricity data for the Main College building. We are displaying gas data for Block B from September 2023, for Block A and the Hub from April 2025 and for the Sports Hall from July 2025. Please take this into consideration when analysing changing rates of gas usage over time. We hope to display electricity for The Hub soon.

Well done, you are making progress towards achieving your target to reduce your electricity usage!

Unfortunately you are not meeting your target to reduce your gas usage

Review progress

Last year you used 4,000 kWh of gas and 37,000 kWh of electricity in the Summer 2025 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £5,600 this year. 

Last week the school's electricity baseload was 7.1% more than the average over the last year. If this continues it will cost £2,500 more over the next year.
