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

Review progress

Watch out - the heating or hot water is running during the current school holidays! Up to Monday 17 Feb 2025 the school used 6,500 kWh of gas during this holiday, which has cost £490 and generated 1,200 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 30,000 kWh, costing £2,200 and generating 5,400 kg CO2.

Last year you used 17,000 kWh of gas and 8,200 kWh of electricity in the Spring half term 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £3,000 this year.
