Response to heatwave
Lessons finishing earlier
With temperatures of anything between 33 and 35 degrees expected on Thursday 25 and Friday 26 June, we have made an adjustment to the timetable to reduce lesson lengths so that the remaining teaching days this week are completed by 2pm.
The timetable for Thursday and Friday this week will be as follows:
| Period | Period 1 |
|---|---|
| Time | 9.00am to 9.45am |
| Period | Period 2 |
|---|---|
| Time | 9.50am to 10.35am |
| Period | Break |
|---|---|
| Time | 10.35am to 10.50am |
| Period | Period 3 |
|---|---|
| Time | 10.50am to 11.35am |
| Period | Period 4 |
|---|---|
| Time | 11.40am to 12.25pm |
| Period | Lunch |
|---|---|
| Time | 12.25pm to 1.10pm |
| Period | Period 5 |
|---|---|
| Time | 1.10pm to 1.55pm |
Much Ado About Nothing performances will continue as planned throughout the week. We are fortunate to have an air-conditioned theatre so the show will go on, as well as the planned rehearsal activities.
With temperatures forecast back in the mid-20s, timetables will return to normal next week (week beginning 29 June), though of course there are no lessons on Tuesday 30 June and Wednesday 1 July, whilst we run the Welcome to Hills sessions for offer holders.
We are encouraging students to take all other sensible precautions in the heat. We ask them to stay hydrated, wear cool and comfortable clothing and a hat and suncream if outdoors. We also ask them to be really sensible about any plans to visit any open water spaces over the next few days. More information about this and how to stay safe is available by following the link below.
