With temperatures remaining high this week, we are taking a number of steps to ensure the comfort and safety of our school community.

We are fortunate that almost all of our classrooms have air conditioning. In those classrooms where air conditioning is not available, we will ensure that children have access to it during the school day.

Today, following a risk assessment, we provided additional gazebos on the playground to increase shade and reduced the amount of time children spent outdoors. We will continue to do this for the remainder of the week.

We ask that parents and carers send children to school in their summer uniform, but children are also welcome to wear a lightweight white T-shirt if they prefer. We ask that children wear appropriate, safe footwear, including trainers if these are more comfortable.

Please remember to send children to school wearing sunscreen and with a hat and a filled water bottle.

We will continue to assess the needs of the children throughout the week and make adaptations if needed. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with your child's class teacher.

With very warm temperatures forecast this week, we are taking steps to help keep all children comfortable and safe during the school day.

Please can parents and carers ensure that children:
- Bring a named water bottle to school every day.
- Wear sun cream before arriving at school.
- Bring a named sun hat or cap.

Children will have regular opportunities to drink water throughout the day, and where appropriate, outdoor activities will be adapted as needed to minimise time spent in direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day.

Thank you for your support in helping us keep everyone safe and comfortable during the hot weather.
