Dear Parents

We have just checked the temperature in school and it is already showing an increase from yesterday. On Monday we monitored temperature carefully throughout the day and all children were kept inside and in the coolest parts of the school. Maple and Chestnut Class were moved to the school hall which remained the coolest area all day. The temperature today is predicted to increase further and hit 38 - 40 degrees in the afternoon. To this end, children may be collected at 1pm today to go home, so that we can keep numbers as low as possible and manage remaining children together in the school hall. We understand that this is short notice and that some of our parents will be unable to collect children due to work commitments, so you are more than welcome to keep your child in school but if you are able to collect them, then please do. If you prefer to keep your children at home for the whole day today, then please be assured that this will not affect their attendance. The temperature is predicted to plummet by Wednesday and hopefully all children will be back with us then in order to enjoy the last few days of school before summer break.

Kind regards

Mrs Rooney
