Reminders and alerts

Reminders

Your school has three electricity meters. It has come to our attention that data for MPAN 1050000313582 is estimated. This will be raised with the MAT. In the meantime, this meter's data has been removed from your account. Data for meter, 1023545804639 supplying the flood lights also stopped in November 2024. As a result, your account does not show your school's total electricity usage at the moment.

Last year you used 33,000 kWh of gas and 34,000 kWh of electricity in the Summer 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £11,000 this year. 

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 36 kW in the winter to 23 kW in the summer. This suggests electric heating is left running overnight during the winter or the school has inefficient security or flood lights. Change electric heater settings and improve lighting efficiency to save £16,000 annually.
