Gas use in the Summer half term 2026 holidays has increased by 220% compared to Summer half term 2025. 

Between Saturday 23 May 2026 and Monday 1 Jun 2026 you used 2,500 kWh of gas at a cost of £110. Adjusting for changes in outside temperature, this is still an increase of 1,800 kWh and 320 kg CO2. Ask the school site manager to check the heating controls to reduce gas use during the school holidays.

There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 58 kW in the winter to 30 kW in the summer. This suggests heating is left running overnight during the winter. This can either be electric heating, or other types of heating that requires electricity for pumps or fans. Change heating settings to save £12,000 annually.
