In response to the MET office red weather warnings close to our region tomorrow (24/6/26) and Thursday (25/6/26) of this week, we will be modifying our school day.
Research evidence suggests that growing teenagers with their resulting high metabolic rates struggle to manage their body temperature much more than adults in extreme temperatures.
The forecast for high 30 degrees and possibly 40 degrees, peaking at around 4pm, poses a significant health and safety risk for our students.
Our school day will therefore be based around 35 minute lessons with all but essential elements removed:
8.00 – Onwards – well-being check on entry through reception
8.50- Lesson 1
9.25- Lesson 2
10.00 – Breakfast for all
10.20 – Lesson 3
10.55- Lesson 4
11.30 – Brunch for all
11.50 – Lesson 5
12.25 – Lesson 6
13.00- END
We appreciate that this early finish for the next 2 days may create
some challenges for families, so for students who cannot be collected we can host for the afternoon in our air conditioned gym.
Our school transport providers have confirmed the following services will be available to support students in getting home during the early closure:
BD03 (Whittles) – 1pm collection from school
291 (Yarrantons) – 1.30pm collection from school
S15 Diamond – Students to go into Bewdley Town to get 296 Service to Stourport
S292 -Students to go into Bewdley Town to get 292 Service to Kidderminster
Please accept our sincere apologies for any disruption these arrangements may cause, and we look forward to a return to our more usual British weather conditions.
School will run as normal on Friday 26th , unless the forecasters change their mind about the temperatures.
We will keep you updated of any developments.
