Update Following Continued Hot Weather

Dear Families and Colleagues, As you will have noted, the weather continues to be very warm.  Our buildings, also, are continuing to heat up and retain this heat.  As such and at the very least, we will remain into Friday with more relaxed dress for colleagues and PE kit for students. I am currently in conversation with colleagues from our Trust group of schools and other local schools and will make clear tomorrow my decision around any alterations to the school day for Friday (tomorrow, Thursday, remains as planned with a lunchtime finish).  My ambition here remains to keep the school open.  School is the best place for children to be. Please, if your children are intending to play around in the water in this weather, do take advice and avoid open water: https://rnli.org/news-and-media/2026/june/23/rnli-urges-families-to-share-lifesaving-water-safety-advice-in-extreme-heat#:~:text=To%20stay%20safe%20during%20this,the%20red%20and%20yellow%20flags. With thanks and best wishes, Steve  Read Full Article

Warm Weather Planning - Changes to Timings Over Next Few Days

Please see the letter sent fom Mr Smith today with details: Tuesday On Tuesday, the school day will operate to our Learning Development Afternoon (LDA) timetable, with all students and staff leaving site by 2.30pm. Arrangements for Tuesday will be kept under review.   Wednesday and Thursday As the heat within the buildings is expected to build over successive days, we have taken the decision for the school day to finish at lunchtime on both Wednesday and Thursday.  All students and staff will therefore leave site by 1.10pm on these two days. Food will, of course, be available at lunchtime on both days for those students who are in receipt of Free School Meals. In addition, there will be no Period 6 lessons for Sixth Form students this week and no after school detentions on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of this week.  All staff and students will be off site by 2.30pm on Tuesday and by 1.10pm on Wednesday and Thursday.    Read Full Article
