AMBER WEATHER WARNING THIS WEEK (21/06/2026)
There is an amber warning in place for heat this week, so we will need to do things slightly differently.
What you can do
Please allow your children to wear PE kit to school this week if they would like to
Make sure your child has a water bottle with them
Make sure your child has suncream and, if at all possible, a hat
What we will do
Keep classrooms as cool as possible
Relocate lessons to cooler rooms if possible (i.e. avoid computer rooms)
Re-plan outdoor lessons during the hottest parts of the day to make them more manageable
Monitor vulnerable students and provide increased access to medical staff should anyone need it
The Bushcraft trip for Year 7 will go ahead, but with careful consideration of the activities they do to make sure they are appropriate. Most of the time the children will be in shade but nonetheless, a water bottle, sun cream and a hat will be essential.
Students in Year 10 who are on work experience will need to talk to the placement leaders about how best to approach the heat this week.
