Reminders

Please note we are only showing data for the Orchard Centre gas meter from the 1st January 2024 onward as that was when this meter was upgraded. Gas data before this point does not include the Orchard Centre gas meter. Also we have been unable to access gas data for the Performing Arts and Languages building for December 2024, so your usage during this month does not include this meter.

Please note that your Trust's gas data is estimated between the 28th of February and 31st of March 2024 due to a data issue with your previous supplier

Last year you used 7,500 kWh of gas and 30,000 kWh of electricity in the Easter 2024 holidays. Turn off your heating, hot water and electrical appliances to save around £7,200 this year. 

There is a large variation in seasonal overnight electricity usage from 100 kW in the winter to 42 kW in the summer. This suggests electric heating is left running overnight during the winter or the school has inefficient security or flood lights. Change electric heater settings and improve lighting efficiency to save £39,000 annually.
