Course School Information

 As previously communicated, we will be implementing additional measures in school, including:

• Relaxing school uniform – children may wear cool, appropriate clothing – no flip flops.
• Ensuring pupils are well hydrated throughout the day.
• Limiting outdoor time, using shaded areas and only where appropriate.
• Adapting activities to minimise exposure to heat.

At present, there has been no blanket directive from Caerphilly Local Authority regarding school closures or early finishes etc. We​ are continuing to liaise closely with our cluster schools and will keep the situation under constant review.

There COULD be the decision to close early, there COULD be the decision to collect your child early if you want or are able to or there may be no change or a combination of various things. I will keep the situation under review and update you as soon as I know more. The most logical and sensible option at the moment may be for parents to have the option to collect children after their lunch if you want to, however there is no clear guidance or decision yet. I will update you if there is a blanked decision etc.

We do anticipate that temperatures within the school building may become extremely high, and we will continue to always prioritise pupil safety and wellbeing. Over the weekend, I managed to purchase lots of fans to help with the heat in school.

We will keep you fully updated should any further changes be necessary.

Thank you for your continued understanding and support.
