A York head teacher reveals his school is experiencing an “impossible situation”, facing a 200 per cent increase in gas and electricity bills. Like businesses, for schools, there’s no energy price cap leaving school leaders left facing immense pressure on budgets.
With 750 pupils, headteacher Rod Sims says York High School has seen the gas and electric bill alone rise to £130,000 this year. The school also has boilers fuelled by biomass - a cost that has drastically increased due to the war in Ukraine.
