Watch out - the heating or hot water is running during the current school holidays! Up to Thursday 3 Jul 2025 the school used 33,000 kWh of gas during this holiday, which has cost £1,900 and generated 6,000 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 220,000 kWh, costing £12,000 and generating 40,000 kg CO2.
