Dear Amber
Thank you for your email.
We are a Multi Academy Trust currently consisting of 7 schools (3 secondary schools and 4 primary schools).
With regards to your questions, we have responded to the first three questions as per below.
• What is the current average energy charge within the organisation (kW hour)?
The average is 7.9555 kw/hour
• What Carbon reduction goals are in place within the organisation?
Measures taken to improve energy efficiency
We have significantly changed staff and student energy use behaviour in our schools over the last 12 months,
which has led to significant reduction in consumption. This was achieved through a Trust Energy Saving
Competition, with prizes donated by local partners.
In addition, the Trust has invested the DfE Energy Saving Capital Funding, announced in December 2022 in
energy reduction measures across all its schools. The works have included Building Management System
(BMS) upgrades, installation of LED lighting and Solar Panel Arrays.
• What is the contact email for the person who deals with sustainability and ESG matters within the organisation?
