Warm Weather

April 2025 

Dear Parent/carer

As the weather is improving I wanted to reiterate our hot weather protocols and how we support students to be as comfortable as possible during the school day.

On days where the temperature is set to be high, I email tutors and students are permitted to remove their blazers and carry them. Please encourage your children to take their jumpers off in the hot weather as they are often reluctant to take them off despite complaining about being too hot! All of our other uniform and equipment standards remain the same. 

We have cold water fountains in school as well that students can access at break and lunchtime. It would be helpful if you could send your children in with a bottle that they can refill during the school day to ensure that they remain hydrated.  A cap or hat can be brought if they wish to wear this outside but these will not be permitted inside the academy. School is not able to give students sun cream so please make sure that they have applied this prior to leaving.

Thank you for your support and we will take all the steps that we can to keep the temperature in school reasonable and we provide indoor or covered spaces for students to access during break and lunchtime so that they can stay out of the sun.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school. 

Yours faithfully

J Norman

Principal
