SHIRT SLEEVE ORDER

Due to the warm weather forecast for the next few days, parents have been notified that pupils will be on shirt-sleeve order, meaning that blazers and ties are not required.

We encourage all pupils to bring a refillable water bottle and to drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. We also recommend that pupils bring sun cream and a sun hat to provide additional protection during the day.

We are taking sensible precautions to minimise the effects of the hot weather and will be updating parents with further communication on Monday.
