There is currently an amber heat warning starting today (Thursday 18 June)  and lasting until 8pm on Tuesday 23rd June. To support your child please ensure they have a refillable water bottle, hat and sun cream. It is important students keep hydrated and are careful about balancing the need for vitamin D with sensible exposure to the sun. 

Given the weather, and to support students to manage the heat, all students have permission to wear PE shirts/ kit and Summer uniform (removing jumpers, short sleeve shirts/ blouses) 

There is with no expectation that your child brings their blazer to school during an amber warning period. 

We have been asked by Haringey to remind all of the information below to support keeping all safe during this period.
