Extreme Heat

The Met Office have issued a warning for excessive temperatures on Monday and Tuesday.

The school is remaining open with the following changes:

- parents are asked to send their child to school with a water bottle (we will refresh during the day)

- parents are asked to consider applying sun screen before sending them in to school

- parents are asked to consider sending their child in with a named sun hat to wear outside

- parents are asked to consider, if they wish, for children to wear their PE kits if they think this will keep their child cooler. Our PE kit is Pale blue Polo shirt, back shorts, white or back socks, trainers. Highly recommended for Year 2 trip.

- lunch break will be moved earlier (as temperature increases during the day)

- lunch service will be cold food (to enable it to be consumed in colder parts of school and reduce heat creation in school)

- windows will be opened as early as possible before school to reduce air temperature, where fans are available these will be utilised

- when outside children will be encouraged to benefit from the natural shaded areas

- electrical devices will be turned off when not in use, including lighting, to reduce ambient temperature

- children's physical exertion will be reduced eg. Amount of time, wherever possible, particularly outside
