Hot Weather - Changes to the Week - Please Read

Posted on: 23/06/2026

As I am sure you are aware there is a high chance of very high heat this week, particularly Wednesday - Friday. So, I wanted to let you know the changes we are making this week to try and mitigate the heat for our students, particularly during the mock season.

Afternoon exams (Wednesday - Friday):

All afternoon exams will start at 12.30pm.

Warm up for afternoon exam will be moved to 11.20am- 12.05pm. Students will then have a break before the exam starts at 12.30pm.

Early finish (Wednesday - Friday):

All students not in exams are able to leave from 1.15pm, with all students off site by 2pm. The canteen will remain open as usual over lunch.

Dress code (Tuesday – Friday)

For sixth form students, relaxed business wear is permitted for the remainder of this week. The following guidelines indicate what is acceptable relaxed business wear.

  • Short sleeved shirts or polo-shirts
  • No tie
  • No Blazer
  • Shoulders should be covered, no tank tops, vests or crop-tops
  • No flip-flops or open-toed shoes

Thank you.
