In light of the extreme hot weather warnings that have been given by the MET office for next week I wanted to inform you that I have produced a risk assessment as directed by the DfE. Monday 18th July and Tuesday 19th July incorporate off site activities, the main activities are in air conditioned buildings however the morning learning on both days had been planned to occur in parks and woods.
We propose that on Monday and Tuesday children have a later start/earlier finish where applicable.
- Children will be allowed to wear appropriate shorts and t-shirts which will be cooler than their regular uniform
- Hats can be worn outside but must be taken off when inside
- Please ensure your child has a water bottle for hydration and sun cream
- All rooms when in school are air conditioned
We anticipate that Wednesday 20 July will be a full school day as the weather is due to be somewhat cooler by then, we will of course keep you updated.
If you have any queries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.
