Heat letter
Dear Parents and Carers,
Forecasts indicate that tomorrow’s temperatures are expected to be extremely high. Eastcroft Park will remain OPEN, but the safety and wellbeing of pupils and staff is our highest priority. Arrangements in School Tomorrow
• Indoor and shaded activities — All outdoor lessons and breaktimes will take place indoors or in shaded areas.
• Air Conditioning-Classes will be timetabled to access air-conditioned areas.
• No PE or strenuous activity — Physical activities will be cancelled to avoid overheating.
• Regular hydration — Children will be encouraged to drink frequently. Please ensure they bring a named water bottle. Cold refills will be available from the drinks dispenser in the hall.
• Ventilated classrooms — Rooms will be kept as cool as possible with ventilation, blinds lowered and fans.
• Relaxed uniform expectations — lightweight, pale-coloured clothing is recommended; pupils may wear plain PE shorts and T-Shirts or their PE kit. (normal safeguarding rules on footwear and jewellery still apply)
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Miss J A Withey
Headteacher
