Weather Advice

As temperatures rise, we are taking steps to ensure the wellbeing of all pupils and staff during 
periods of extreme heat. Here’s how we’re keeping your child safe, and how you can support us:

School Measures

• Monitoring classroom temperatures and adjusting activities when it gets too hot.
• Encouraging regular water breaks and allowing water bottles in classrooms.
• Keeping blinds/curtains closed on sunny sides and using fans where safe.
• Moving PE or outdoor play to earlier or later in the day to avoid peak heat.
• Providing shaded areas for breaks and lunchtime where possible.
• Being alert for signs of heat-related illness and responding promptly.

How You Can Help

• Send your child to school with a named water bottle each day.
• Apply long-lasting suncream at home in the morning (where applicable).
• Provide a sun hat and, if possible, sunglasses.
• Dress your child in lightweight, breathable clothes—uniform rules may be relaxed during 
heatwaves (we will confirm this in advance).
• Let us know if your child has any health conditions that affect how they cope with heat.

We appreciate your support in helping us keep our school community safe during hot weather. 
If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
