Dear Parents/Carers,

EYFS children will need to come to school in their PE kits tomorrow please, as they will be doing a walk-through practice, first thing in the morning, in preparation for Sports Day. If the weather is too extreme at this point, of course this will be cancelled. Staff will ensure that children are kept in the shade and will be taking rests in-between each activity.

Please do ensure that your child has a water bottle and hat, and has had suncream applied at home.

Thank you for your support.

Due to the hot weather, for the next 2 days we will not be serving the advertised meals.  We will be serving chicken sandwiches, pizza and sausage rolls (more of a buffet style lunch).  We feel that the children are more likely to eat this rather than the hot meals in this heat.  There will be no roast dinner on Wednesday.

If you would prefer your child to have their own lunch, please cancel their order on the SFU App.

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.
