Hot weather arrangements for week commencing 22nd June

21st Jun 2026

With the hot weather continuing, we are making some temporary changes to help everyone stay safe and comfortable.

 

Stay Hydrated

  • Students should bring a water bottle to school and keep it with them in lessons.

  • Students should drink water regularly throughout the day — don't wait until you feel thirsty.

  • Free drinking water is available from water fountains and additional water stations around the school.

 

Uniform

  • Students may wear PE shorts with their PE top or school white polo shirt as part of a relaxed uniform arrangement during the hot weather. (please do not wear other types of shorts, hot pants etc.) 

 

In Lessons

  • Classrooms will be kept as cool as possible by opening windows, closing blinds, and reducing unnecessary electrical equipment.

  • Some lessons may be moved to cooler areas of the school.

 

PE and Outdoor Activities

  • Outdoor PE will not take place after break time.

  • PE lessons will be adapted to reduce strenuous activity.

  • We may postpone some outdoor events or trips if temperatures become too high.

 

Break, Lunchtime & Clubs

  • Students should use shaded areas whenever possible.

  • The main hall will be open at lunchtime as a cool space away from the sun.

  • Football, basketball, and cricket will not take place at lunchtime during the hot weather period.

  • Outdoor enrichment activities are cancelled for this week.

 

Thank you for working with us to keep everyone safe.
