Dear parents,

With tomorrow forecast to have extremely high temperatures again, school will offer an optional ‘early’ pick-up time of 1:00pm (until 1:20pm to reduce the time the staff are outside manning the gates). With temperatures due to peak at normal pick-up time (3 – 4pm), we feel that this will reduce risks posed to health by the extreme heat. This will also enable us to limit numbers in school. Please collect your children as ‘normal’ via the outside route until 1:20pm. After this, please collect your child via the main entrance.

Please bear in mind that breakfast and after-school club will take place as normal.

In addition, please ensure the following for tomorrow:

• Children wear PE kits
• Bring hats and water bottles
• Wear sun cream

We have made further adjustments in school to accommodate this extreme weather.

I will be in contact should there be any further developments.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Tom Lowrie-Herz (Acting Headteacher)
