Reminders

Please note that your school has six gas and five electricity meters. We currently have access to data for the gas meters that serve the Old School, Douglas House, the Pavilion, and Bridge Link. We also have access to data for the electricity meters that serve Douglas House, the Sports Hall and the carpark. Therefore, please keep in mind that currently your school's gas and electricity data displayed on your account does not represent the total amount of energy used at your school. We are working with your suppliers to gain access to data for other parts of your school.
