Review progress

Gas use in the Spring half term 2025 holidays has increased by 150% compared to Spring half term 2024. 

Between Saturday 15 Feb 2025 and Sunday 23 Feb 2025 you used 66,000 kWh of gas at a cost of £5,000. Adjusting for changes in outside temperature, this is still an increase of 39,000 kWh and 7,100 kg CO2. Ask the school site manager to check the heating controls to reduce gas use during the school holidays.
