Hot Weather Arrangements for Wednesday and Thursday

Following the rare red weather warning issued by the MET Office for Wednesday and Thursday, I want to reassure you that our school will remain open, as advised by the Department for Education.

We are doing everything possible to keep pupils comfortable, hydrated and safe, and many of our spaces have air-conditioning. To support this:

• We are moving lessons to cooler areas of the school

• Utilising our air-conditioned classrooms

• Limiting physical exertion in PE

• Allowing frequent hydration breaks

• Encouraging pupils to use indoor areas at break and lunch

• Providing additional water bottle filling stations

• Adapting uniform

Please support us by encouraging your child to apply high-factor sun cream before they come to school and send them with a reusable water bottle.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and follow UK Health Security Agency guidance on hot weather to ensure we are doing everything we can for our school community.

Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation.
