Dear Parents and Carers

As you will be aware, Swansea is on the edge of the Red Weather Warning in place in England and Wales over the next few days. I would like to share with you some of the mitigations which the school will be putting in place:

• Most pupils are already wearing PE kit as we move towards our new guidance for September. They may continue to do so for the rest of the academic year.
• Pupils may wear hats and/or sunscreen at your discretion.
• Pupils should ensure that they drink water and take toilet breaks, in line with UK government guidance.
• The school day will not continue after 3.00 p.m.
• Planned outdoor activity type excursions have been cancelled.
• PE lesson activities will be planned so as to minimise prolonged exposure to direct heat and sunlight.
• On Wednesday and Thursday only cold food will be available to reduce the heat from cooking hot meals.
• Pupils should seek shade as much as possible during break and lunch.

We currently have no plans to close the school site. However, parents and carers should exercise their own judgement based on their own knowledge of their children, if they feel that their health and wellbeing may be compromised.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully

Mr J Kennedy

Headteacher

On 25 March, our students joined millions around the world to celebrate World Maths Day through live Mathletics challenges. We’re incredibly proud of two standout achievements:
• Minh (Year 7) — 1st place in the UK Year 7 Category
• Aydin (Year 10) — 2nd place in the UK Year 9+ Category

Huge congratulations to both!

Thank you @3p_learning for such an exciting global event

Huge congratulations to Adam in Year 8!
He was invited to deliver a speech and present alongside @lord_lieutenant_west_glamorgan, Louise Fleet. On Wednesday 29th April, he spoke to a group about the importance of a time‑critical healthcare case. Such an impressive achievement — well done, Adam!

The canteen hosted a special Eid menu for pupils and staff on Tuesday 24th March! Congratulations to pupil Umar Khalique on creating the Eid menu.

Pupils enjoyed a host of dishes to celebrate the Chinese New Year!

We are incredibly proud of Sixth Form students Joshua Wang and Tia Loo, who played a key role in co-organising the STAGE Showcase for Chinese Autism on 29 December 2025. They demonstrated outstanding commitment, leadership, and professionalism throughout the planning and delivery of the event. Their efforts were praised by attendees, including the Lord Lieutenant, Mrs Louise Fleet, who commended their maturity and attitude. The event was also featured on ITV News, highlighting its success. Joshua and Tia were a real credit to themselves and to Olchfa School. Well done!
