We have a policy of not sending children
home early on hot days because the school is airconditioned. However we
are advising parents that the air conditioners in our school do not cope
with extended periods of heat and humidity. The staff and
students are working under extreme difficulty and by the afternoon many
children and adults are quite distressed. If this weather continues,
where possible we would appreciate parents picking their children up
early.
Most of the air conditioners in teaching
areas are evaporative coolers. They have recently been upgraded. We
remind the students to drink lots of water and to play quietly in the
shade at break times. Lessons in the afternoon are very low key. All of
these things help but they are not a solution.
If you can offer your children a cooler
environment at home we would respond positively. Please come to school
to pick them up at lunchtime (12.40) or early afternoon, or send a note
advising us that you give your child permission to come home at this or
another time.
