20th June 2025
Dear Parent Carers, Weekly Update: 20/06/25 I hope this update finds you well. The weather has been warmer than predicted over the past week, and is due to continue into next week. In school we are doing our best to keep students cool by utilising cooler spaces and shade, fans and air conditioning, and staying inside when appropriate. Please could you encourage your child to bring a water bottle to school with them to help them stay hydrated, as well as providing sun cream and a cap/hat for your child if they spend time in the sunshine during their breaks. Sun cream can be applied before school, and students can also top up during the day if they need to – please ensure any bottles are labelled and in-date.
