Review progress

Watch out - the heating or hot water is running during the current school holidays! Up to Wednesday 19 Feb 2025 the school used 1,600 kWh of gas during this holiday, which has cost £47 and generated 290 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 2,800 kWh, costing £83 and generating 500 kg CO2.

Last year you used 53 kWh of gas and 4,000 kWh of electricity in the Spring half term 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £600 this year.
