There is a large variation in your school's seasonal overnight electricity usage from 12 kW in the winter to 8.1 kW in the summer. This suggests heating is left running overnight during the winter. This can either be electric heating, or other types of heating that requires electricity for pumps or fans. Change heating settings to save £1,500 annually.
