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
