Following the Met Office's Red Extreme Heat Warning, all MNSP schools will be closed to pupils and staff on Wednesday 24 June and Thursday 25 June 2026.

This decision has been taken to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our pupils, staff, and wider school community during the period of extreme temperatures.

Hot Weather Advice

With temperatures expected to remain exceptionally high, we encourage all families to take extra care and follow public health guidance to stay safe in the heat:

  • Avoid direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day (11:00am–3:00pm).
  • Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
  • Keep your home as cool as possible by closing curtains and windows exposed to direct sunlight.
  • Wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing and apply sunscreen when outdoors.
  • Check on older relatives, neighbours, and anyone who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat.
  • Never leave children, vulnerable adults, or pets in parked vehicles.

If you feel unwell, dizzy, or experience symptoms of heat exhaustion, move to a cool place, drink water, and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.

We currently look forward to welcoming pupils back to school on Friday, when cooler temperatures are forecast. However, we will continue to monitor the situation closely. Should circumstances change, we will communicate any further closures or amendments to arrangements through our usual channels.

Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued support.
