During periods of high temperature, the following steps are taken to keep your child safe: 

• children should not take part in vigorous physical activity on very hot days

• any outdoor play is restricted and limited to the shade as much as possible

• children should wear loose, light-coloured clothing to help keep cool and sunhats with wide brims to avoid sunburn

• sunscreen (at least factor 15- the higher the better with UVA protection) should be worn to protect skin

• children should drink plenty of water and be encouraged to drink more than usual

 

Remember...

Slip on a T-shirt,
Slap on a hat.
Slop on some sun cream. Please note that teachers and support staff are not allowed to apply sunscreen to children.

 

In the event of a level 4 red alert, where the temperature rises to major incident, please keep an eye on the school website for possible school closure.
