Schools across the UK are considering closures on Monday and Tuesday next week due to health and safety concerns over the scorchingly hot temperatures.
Alan Roe, headteacher of Dr Challoner’s High School in Buckinghamshire, wrote to parents on Friday to say that ‘due to the worsening weather forecast and the red weather alert , we have decided to close the school on Monday and Tuesday on health and safety grounds’.
Mr Roe went on: ‘Many of our classrooms are very uncomfortable when the temperatures are in the mid-20s.’ Teachers would set cover work and activities for each of the two days, he said, but there would be no livestreamed lessons. The Costello School in Hampshire has written to parents to state that after ‘the extreme temperatures forecast for Monday and Tuesday next week we have taken the difficult decision to close the school on these days’.
