Review progress

Watch out - the heating or hot water is running during the current school holidays! Up to Sunday 13 Jul 2025 the school used 420 kWh of gas during this holiday, which has cost £25 and generated 77 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 4,800 kWh, costing £290 and generating 870 kg CO2.

Last year you used 4,300 kWh of gas and 5,700 kWh of electricity in the Summer 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £1,100 this year.
