Staying safe in hot weather
With the weather getting hotter this week, we want to make sure everyone stays safe, healthy, and comfortable during the school day. Please take a moment to read the following important reminders for students which we ask parents and carers to support with:
Keep Hydrated
- Bring a refillable water bottle and drink water regularly throughout the day, filling up at break and lunchtime.
- Avoid fizzy or sugary drinks—they can make you feel more dehydrated.
Dress
- We would recommend not wearing blazers or jumpers, and to keep base layers to a minimum if wearing.
Keeping safe in the heat
- Apply sunscreen before school and reapply if you're outside for long periods. Please do not use spray sunscreen in school as it can trigger the fire alarm sensors.
- Stay in shaded or indoor areas during break and lunch when possible.
- Avoid running or intense physical activity during the hottest parts of the day, taking regular breaks if you do.
- If you take medication for hay fever, please do so before school.
Getting to and from School
- If you walk or take public transport, try to stay in the shade and carry water with you.
- Let a teacher or staff member know if you feel unwell at any point.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and comfortable.
