Weather adaptions

Dear Parents/Carers,

Normally we welcome the sun and long spells of lovely dry weather, but it is rather annoying now as we face another heat wave.

We will be carrying out all of the below strategies from tomorrow (with some adaptions today as the temperatures rise)…

 

  • Relax school uniform rules – all children are encouraged to come in PE kits for Thursday and Friday (I will update about next week over the weekend).
  • All children will need a hat – preferably one with a wide brim to maximise protection.
  • Sunscreen with high sun protection factor needs to be applied before coming to school and children will be permitted to reapply throughout the day. (Name bottles please!)
  • We will be again encouraging children to stay in shaded areas – we are lucky to have the back fence lined with trees and some other shaded options to use. We will ask Mr Bryant to put up some gazebos.
  • Teachers will adapt lessons for hot weather including bringing the water sprays back out of the cupboards!
  • We will try our best to ventilate rooms, but children are permitted to bring in fans, but they will be responsible for looking after them.
  • We will reduce unnecessary heat and only use lights when required.
  • We will provide and encourage children to drink more water – please ensure they have a named bottle.

I know from experience that though school does heat up, it does seem to remain cooler than houses, unless they have air conditioning.

We are open as normal and expect all children to attend. We will be opening the gate at 2.45pm on Thursday and Friday to support at the hottest time of the day.

Thank you for your support.

Level Up – Endless Possibilities

 

Telford & Wrekin Council is inviting families and young people to make the most of the summer with the launch of Level Up, a new campaign showcasing a wide range of activities for children and young people aged 0–16 across the borough, with a family hot air balloon ride up for grabs for those who take part and share their experiences.

 

Take on new challenges, learn new skills and get active this summer with Urban Games. Sessions include hockey, football, netball, multi-sports and Wild Telford activities. They are completely free, hosted by professional coaches and held in local parks throughout the six-week holidays. Additional activities in the award-winning town park include play areas, picnic spots, walking, cycling and nature trails as well as the *Aerial Adventure, *mini golf, *bike hire and loads more.

 

Enjoy fun-filled holiday clubs packed with activities, healthy meals and new experiences through Healthy Happy Active Holidays. Funded spaces are available for children from Reception to Year 11 who receive benefit-related free school meals.

 

Discover five simple adventures to enjoy together before your child starts school with 5 by 5. For older children, there are ten experiences to tick off in your 10 by 10 adventure card.

Discover activities, make new friends and create your best summer yet with the Youth Offer – a one-stop shop for clubs and teams across Telford and Wrekin.

 

Badminton, tennis, table tennis, fun and floats swimming, soft play, athletics and driving range sessions are available for just £2 at the Council’s leisure centres. And finally, there are great days out, family adventures and hidden gems right on your doorstep, with Visit Telford providing all the details.

 

Councillor Richard Overton, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Highways, Housing and Enforcement, said: “There are endless possibilities to Level Up your summer this year.

 

“With so many options, it’s hard to know where to look sometimes. Level Up puts everything in one place, giving people the chance to enjoy everything our borough has to offer this summer.

 

“And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve teamed up with Virgin Hot Air Balloons to offer a family balloon ride to any family that takes part in Level Up and shares a photo with us.

 

“With so many activities available, many of them free, we want everyone to feel they can get involved and make the most of their summer. So, get involved and tell us: what’s your move going to be this summer?

 

“Whether it’s a quick visit to a local park, a day exploring nature, joining sports and games, or taking part in creative sessions, Level Up makes it easy for everyone to find their thing this summer.”

 

The campaign puts flexibility, accessibility and opportunity at the heart of school holiday plans. It also supports the Council’s aim for Telford and Wrekin to protect, care and invest, as well as its Child Friendly Telford programme, which supports children, young people and families.

To enter the competition, simply attend one of the Level Up activities, snap a photo and submit it for a chance to win. Full competition details can be found here.

 

Selected entries will be showcased across digital screens, social media and printed materials, helping to bring the campaign to life through real local voices and experiences.

*These activities have additional fees.
