This section gives a more detailed analysis of how your school’s electricity use varies throughout the day. Comparisons are made between your school, 'Well managed' and 'Exemplar' schools as well as between this year and the previous year for weekdays, weekends and holidays.
The following sections provide more background and analysis on your electricity baseload
This chart allows you to see how your school’s electricity consumption compares with other energy efficient schools throughout the school day. A 'Well Managed' school represents the 30.0% best ranked primary schools and 'Exemplar' the 17.5% best primary schools.
This chart can be useful to observe where your school’s pattern of energy use differs from other schools. There might be anomalies like jumps in usage outside school hours which can’t be accounted for.
If your school has high consumption overnight, compared to the benchmark schools, this could indicate that you need to reduce your baseload. If consumption is mainly high during the middle of the day, this indicates you need to reduce your peak electricity use.
This chart shows the peak electricity usage at the school (normally during the middle of the day) and the overnight electricity consumption.
It is useful in diagnosing what changes have happened over the last year which may have changed electricity consumption.
You can use this type of graph to understand how the schools electricity usage changes over time. You can click on the legend to add or remove lines from the graph to make it clearer.
Calculations based on Electricity consumed between 01 Jan 2021 and 06 Apr 2025
The following characteristics are used when analysing your school energy data. Temperature compensation uses weather data specific to your school's location.
| Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
| Floor area | 3049.0m2 |
| Location | B33 9RD (-1.786162, 52.483141) |
| Pupils | 560 |
| Type | Primary |
Consumption costs are calculated based on the unit prices of energy and do not take into account standing charges or other fees.
Tariffs may be based on MAT or Local Authority averages, or an Energy Sparks default, if your school has not provided their actual tariffs.
Consumption costs are estimated based on historic tariff information.
Future savings are estimates based on your school's latest tariff information.
Potential cost savings quoted in school comparisons, e.g. for comparable "well managed" and "exemplar" schools are also based on your school's current tariffs.
School comparisons are based on benchmarking your school against comparable schools based on the characteristics outlined below.
"Exemplar" schools represent the top 17.5% of Energy Sparks schools
"Well managed" schools represent the top 30% of Energy Sparks schools
