Dear Parent / Carer

I am writing to provide a further update following yesterday’s communication and the continued hot weather, alongside the latest weather warnings.

Again, I would like to commend our pupils for how responsibly they have responded to the conditions in school. They have done an excellent job of staying hydrated and have continued to follow staff guidance. This has helped us to maintain a calm and purposeful learning environment despite the high temperatures. Pupils made the most of indoor spaces at lunchtime today and relaxed in the cooler spaces available on the ground floor.

Monitoring and Adjustments

We continue to monitor the situation closely, including daily weather forecasts, temperatures within our buildings, conditions across the school site, and any local or national guidance. We are also adapting our provision in line with national advice, including making extensive adjustments to PE and other outdoor activities.

• Please note that trips due to take place tomorrow (Wednesday 24th June) have been cancelled, and an in-school performance due to take place on Thursday 25th June in one of our halls has also been cancelled.
• Year 12 induction day is going ahead as planned.
• Assemblies for the rest of the week will be on Teams in form rooms, not in halls.

A reminder to please ensure that your child:

• brings a hat to wear when outdoors
• brings a refillable water bottle
• does not wear a blazer or jumper
• remains in shaded or indoor areas during break and lunchtime

We will assess the school site and the forecast early tomorrow morning and inform you in good time if any further adjustments need to be made.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Yours sincerely

Mr M Dunn
Headteacher
